I agree, all season are good for...nothing
actually its like all compromises
Meanwhile i got a set of 4 Continental WinterContact for the Patriot. Really good. of course with the profile they are not ideal in deep snow, but they handle really good on snowy, cold wet, icy roads.
Actually they change very positively the behaviour of hte Patriot on dry roads as well. They stick and make the handling very stable, which was missing with the original summer Continental tires.
Surprisingly, i did not like at all the WinterContact on my Libbie, but much prefer my set of Pirelli Scorpion Ice&snow.
(and just ordered a set of Duratrac for this summer....
)
Cheers !
