Default All season or summer tires?

I need to get new tires. I live in Wisconsin, for the winter I have winter wheels with goodyear snow tires.

For the rest of the year should I use summer or all season tires? From what I've been reading, summer tires are better in the rain and dry conditions, but wear out quicker. All season is a compromise in both dry and wet, but the tread last longer....so IMO if I have all seasons with more tread that should be better than worn summer tires right?

Any recommendations for tires? I do want something nice. The stock pzero neros were AWFUL in my experience, almost made me crash day 3 of owning the car.

I currently have sumitomos from AM, had em for the past 30k miles, ride quality has been crap from day 1, but they still gripped better than the pzero neros, but now they are gripping like crap.

Thinking of going with goodyear eagle sport all season tires. Or should I go with summer tires? Here in the spring and fall the weather is still pretty cool even when there isn't no snow, so should I probably get all season?

thanks

Anything Michelin. They have a new all season tire which I think you would be most happy with overall. If you thought P zeros were bad, then stick with a high performance summer tire which will give you 20Kish miles.
