What exactly does "driving on lego blocks" mean? Just that the ride is harsher or that handling is compromised as well? The tires do warm up after a few minutes of highway driving, right?
I've been searching tire rack for a discussions of some all-season dry/wet performance vs. some summer tires. Could you paste in a link?
If I can get similar dry traction as a good summer tire from a good all-season and have it perform better in the wet/snow, I'm all for it. From reading different forums (NASIOC, ClubWRX, and i-Club), I've been led to believe that the whole advantage of having separate summer/winter tires is better summer and better winter performance for the cost of having a second set of wheels. The better winter part is obvious since I can go with true snow tires. But I do want better summer performance, too, to make it worth it.
