This survey might help you. If I were in your shoes, I'd just call them up and put the question to them.

The reason I have nothing specific to offer is:

1) Generally, I consider all-season tires to be no-season tires, so I run them only on the grocery-getter

2) As a concept, sticky all-season tires doesn't make sense; if you're successful, though, I suspect we're all going to learn something that might prove useful

3) On track days in the 30-45F degree range, I run NT01s; they've worked well, and along the way I learned that I only needed to add 1-2# more air than normal to start (on a smooth track with sun on half of it)
Agreed, all season tires are not. They are a compromise for ALL temps, I was hoping to find one with the traction bias to the freezing side.

In other words a winter tire without snow cleats, that covers the gap between snow tires and all season (a tire that doesn't exist ?),
Or a winter tire that won't melt between snow tire temps and 10 degrees C.
