I highly recommend the Dunlop Star Specs. May not be the all-season tire you're looking for, but I've driven them through a "winter" season in Southern Virginia. No issues. Plus, they'll give you that "crazy driving" you're looking for.

Where are you located?

You're looking for all season tires, but listed summer only, all season, and snow tires?



Go do some more research...

I'm running the Star Specs right now 215/255 setup and I highly recommend it for the price/treadwear vs my stock RE070Rs.

The list was the one I pic which I may be considering in buying but I was also asking everyone if they recommend a tire that is also good for snow

A tire "good for snow" is not good for "some crazy driving".

Do not buy summer tires if you'll be driving them in the winter anywhere that it snows, even just a couple times a year. It's dangerous to drive summer tires in the snow.

I still think you should go research yourself. From the collection of tires you listed, I don't think you spent much time looking before you posted up here.

Come back with a more specific question, and you'll get more help (at least from me).

I'm currently using dunlop star specs for my summer tires/autocross tires, and I'm using the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS for all season/commuter tires.
I've been pleased with both so far. The Dunlops have exceeded my expectations as far as grip and responsiveness goes, and the bridgestones are holding up well after around 20k miles. I'm sure I could have gotten at least another 10k out of the rears if it had not been for a nail that punctured one of them. I was able to get it patched, but the damge to the tread had been done and the tread's life was shortened by qutie a bit.
As you would expect, the 960AS does not have the ultimate grip or responsiveness of the star specs, but they are not bad. I wouldn't want to do an autocross on them, but they have held up well on a few mountain run road trips. There are cheaper all seasons out there, but these are quality and should last you a long time.

Um, so-2s have been discontinued for years. I'll post up some reviews and suggestions when I get home. Just keep in mind you really get what you pay for when it comes to tires. For something good you'll be spending 600-800 dollars on a full set.

Dunlop Direzza z1* star specs are great. They are a summer tire but do fine in the winter.
