Echoing darrin's comments above, I think it's pretty rare, especially in our old cars, to need the extra performance of a soft summer tire on the street. I've been on all seasons for a while, and have never had problems keeping up with guys with stickier rubber on our group drives.

My order of preference for all season tires:
1. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ - Best in the wet and dry. Louder than the others, but also the stiffest.
2. Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS - Very good all around, best in snow. I ran this tire and it's predecessors for close to ten years before giving the Conti below a shot.
3. Conti Extreme Contact DWS06 Good in the wet, not great in snow. Not a bad tire at all, i just think the other two are better.
