the all season tires are going to have a blend of grip characteristics. I have had summer tires on for months and now that the weather is getting worse i switched to the Kumho ASX's hoping for a cheap winter tire.
Pro's: cheap, long tread life, capable in light snow
con's: a bad dry gripping tire, not much lateral traction either.
I just had them put on two weeks ago and finally got on them yesterday, they broke free on dry pavement so easily and didnt give me great confidence going around corners at higher speeds. But these are NOT summer tires.
If you just drive on them like a middle aged women, go for it but don't make them anything more than a winter tire

I agree completely.

There really isnt a better deal then Sumi's for the price and the performance.
The top link is the same tires I run, and am my second set. The second is a different tread pattern say Ultra high performance tire. They wear good, handle good, and are cheap.
