VerifiedThe absolute best High Performance A/S tire that money can buy is the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, which has recently been replaced by the A/S Plus. They'll run you about $250 each, maybe a bit less, plus mounting and balancing.
I have a lot of experience with tires of this nature, and if money is not vitally important, this is a no-brainer.

Also a fantastic tire, but definitely not what I would consider an all-season tire as you specified in the original post. They do make the 960AS, which is an all-season, and a good tire, but not in the size you need.....wait, nevermind. Yes that is sold in your size, would run about 30/tire less than the Michelin, and is very close performance-wise to the Michelin. I've used the older version of this tire, and have been quite happy with it.
