Disagree, strongly. Modern high performance all seasons fucking rip. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S or Continental Extreme Contact are very good tires. They’re not as good as dedicated summer/winter tires but they’re very far from sucking. If you don’t deal with snow (inches of accumulation) then good all seasons are more than adequate.
This is pretty spot on. And in order to get the summer tire rated performance, you’ll need to have the tire properly warmed up. You get close to advertised with UHP All seasons from cold or hot and everything in between. Once it gets below freezing it’s not such a high performing category, but unless you’re dealing with ice and snowfall it’ll outperform winter tires on asphalt or any paved surface really. Not to mention they’ll generally wear much better and be way quieter.

Can vouch for those continentals

Don’t forget the Michelin CrossClimate 2 too!
