Oh wow.. all weathers? Thats a tough one. It will always be a compromise.  I
finally wound up putting SP8000's on my mags and got a cheapo set of steels with
winters on them. Works beautifuly! No remounting of tires on rims at all.
However the RE91's I really like as an all weather on my 4000Q. Tough to tell if
they are good since the car doesnt have enough performance to push them :)
Kidding aside, I do like them, they have been great in snow/rain/and dry.
