Ringa I'm in your camp, All seasons tyres tend to better wet grip & work better in cold weather than summer tyres. I'm on a Nokian Weatherproof , symetriical tread & its a good tyre in my opinion, there is the newer Seasonproof. The original Yokohama lasted 8700 miles still with a little life but as the rear was being stripped for brake inspection I changed it. The Nokian has done 7300 miles with 4mm tread remaining.
