Got it -- While they were crappy in the snow, I REALLY enjoyed how my car drove/handled with 205/55-16 (f) and 225/50-16 (rear) Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ tires (and understand the new as4 tires are even nicer) -- the advantage of all season tires is that their rubber composition remains compliant/soft in colder weather.

While I found previous experiences with all season tires on other cars to be VERY mediocore/compromised from a performance/drive quality standpoint, I actually preferred the warm weather ride/handling on my michelins over the Continental ExtremeContact summer tires they replaced. Being able to comfortably drive my targa on cold/clear days/roads was a big bonus to me (our carreras have surprisingly powerful heating systems that made driving in 40f weather with the top off/down pretty fun) https://www.tirerack.com/tires/michelin-pilot-sport-all-season-4?ef_id=CjwKCAiAyJS7BhBiEiwAyS9uNVbsBxevH5AL4M5JO0 nWs4LVnWE1UV1T5frYw0XnkEHiBkbCvWoIZBoCJQAQAvD_BwE: G:s&s_kwcid=AL!3756!3!!!!x!!&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_rH_8RXvES7A0hG5DeU-eyMyo6I&gclid=CjwKCAiAyJS7BhBiEiwAyS9uNVbsBxevH5AL4M5JO0nW s4LVnWE1UV1T5frYw0XnkEHiBkbCvWoIZBoCJQAQAvD_BwE
