I would agree...You end up compromising on both ends when you use all seasons... The Pirelli's are the only ones I'd consider for Double duty..I had those P Zero's on my 18's when I bought them, I loved them for dry but they were the wrong size (225-40-1

...Eric still has those tires BTW.
Never got a chance to use them in the weather, but they were good in the wet
Personally, I'd say by some Dunlop Winter Sport M3's or Even Pirelli P Zeros for Winter and then step up to a true summer tire in the spring. Evo's, STi's and WRX's need high performance tires...Taht's my feeling.
BTW, I could not open any of those PM's so I don't know which wheel you're looking at...
