ha! i just picked up a set of this exact tire/size yesterday. don't have them mounted yet but feeling optimistic...
There's a lot better out there if you can afford to run dedicated.
Let me clarify, they're great tires. Probably one of the best a/s tires on the market. But when you can run something like a Star Spec in the summer, and dedicated winters, a/s tires become sorta useless, imo. I'm sure you'll like em for DD work though.

in my case the eagle GTs might be just right. there is no summer/winter here in SF. it's always mid-upper 50's and rains more in the "winter." i need one tire that will get me through the entire year.
I need a tire that will last a decent amount of time and be great in the early spring/late fall muddy/snowy season. For the amount of dry summer weather (maybe 3 months tops?) we get, I'm better off with a high performance all-season tire. I've heard great things about the Star Specs, but I'm just not too impressed with the amount of tread that several of my friends have gotten out of them.

And a Max Performance summer tire like the Hankook v12s, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ect. would work rather nicely for you. I've ran the OEM Potenzas through a winter. It sucked, but I can tell you they perform at temps even as low as freezing fairly competently. Obviously as temp goes up, stickiness goes up... but they will handle in the cold. Also the rain too. Max Performance summer tires are designed to handle nicely in rain and shine... extreme performance summers like the Bridgestone RE01-R, Dunlop Direzza Star Specs, and Yokohama Advan Neova AD08s all sacrifice some wet weather traction to specialize in dry tarmac conditions. Just don't any summer tire on snow/ice please. That is downright scary.
and jeopardize everybody's else safety.I won't mention somehow surviving my first winter with the car on stock Potenzas. In MN.
