So my federal 595's are getting low enough for me to start shopping around for a new set. Was wondering what the general consensuses was for a decent all season tire as winters getting close and I've heard horror stories of folks with summer tires in the winter even down here. I daily my car so drivability is my number one concern but may see an occasional track day

A few years back I bought some Kumho ECSTA AST because they were inexpensive. About the worst tire I have ever driven on (and I have driven on Bias Ply Firestone Parnelli Jones tires before). I would not recommend them.

DZ102's. Drove on them for a year, sun, winter, rain, snow they held up fine and have OK grip for the category. Pretty cheap too.
If you want to hit the track then Star Specs, but those are a summer tire.'00 Black NB, Track/Street car.
It seems like the most powerful weapon in the universe is speed. Move something fast enough and it will obliterate anything

The best compromise is to use a summer tire year round down here. Any all season is ****ty enough 3 seasons out of the year to hate it year round.
I've had an "oh ****" moment in my motorcycle when I didn't realize the tire was cold. After that, whenever it drops to freezing I take it easy for 15 minutes on the bike for the tires to warm up. That's really all you need to do when it gets cold-ish down here.
