Yes I have to agree with you re the all season tyres, The goodyear are excellent as are the version from michelin. They wear extremely well and ride comfort and grip are perfect. I discovered them by accident really as on purchasing one of my BMW's, the first I'd had with run-flat tyres, it didn't take long to discover the tyres were awful for both ride and handling and when the temperature went below 7'c it was like driving on marbles so for the winter which was fast approaching I bought a set of rims from the bay and shod them with all season tyres. It transformed the car from something we had actually started to hate into a BMW we recognised. We were on the point of getting rid but then kept and enjoyed it for our normal 6 years. We ran it on all seasons all the time after that.
Just one quick observation re the goodyear and michelin options. The tread pattern is similar on both but the michelin has a more open tread pattern and therefore tends not to pick up stones in the same way which as we know then launch themselves into the alloy wings of our Morgan's causing outward facing dents or even star bursts, I could not discern any difference in their driving characteristics. The goodyear's finer tread pattern looks nicer on the Mog so you will have to make your own mind up which is for you!
