agreed. though being involved in the budget antique audio market, i do notice a connection difference between non-plated and gold-plated connectors, but that has everything to do with the effects of corrosion and age, and nothing to do with the sonic attributes when the equipment was new.
all seasons work in the majority of all road-going usage scenario's. i was once told that if they don't work, you're either a poor driver, not leaving enough space that you already should be leaving, or are over-driving the vehicle and it's kit in a public space.
in my area, most people leave the summer-only eco tires on all year long through the snow, and then just complain that their car is terrible at snow. so by that metric ANY all season tire puts me into manageable territory.
