The idea that you can throw *all* all-season tires into the category of "terrible in all seasons" is IMO misguided... For I'd bet 50% of FT86 owners, getting the right all-season tires for their usage is probably the best way to go.

Personally, I live in New England and track on my street tires in the summer, so having two sets of tires is a necessity. If I lived where snow was rare and I didn't track the car, I'd run *good* all-season tires consistent with my wants/needs/usage and not have to deal with changeovers and storage.
They'll never be as good, or even close, to a tire dedicated for that specific season.
