Getting a commuter car would be pointless for me, I own a car because I like cars, not because I need one to get around.

EDIT: Of course if the difference really is that huge, I'd reconsider. Really wish I just had my own garage or driveway -.-
My experience has shown me that the best all seasons, (DWS,) are bested by basic summers like V12's substantially, and stepping into the next rung or two up like S-04's/PSS is as big of a jump from all seasons.

If they work for you then more power to you, but I don't want you to miss out on a proper tire. It seems as though the decision has already been made, but if you look at any of the online independent testing it mimics my experience with tires.
