It's a massive misconception all season tires are 'no season' tires. Maybe they were once but tire compounds have come a long way in the last 10 years.
A set of Michelin AS/3+ feel very similar to PSS and PS4S on the street, lots of grip, communicate nicely when they are at the edge of traction. The only area they will really struggle is heat management, but put PSS on track after 2 laps they have the same problem. I have driven AS/3+ very aggressively on the street with lots of hard braking and it took a while before they started to overheat.
On a cold day near freezing or below they are far superior to PSS in terms of grip, and are way more responsive than any set of winter tires. Similarly they are great in the rain. Their all round capability really isn't matched by any other tire IMO. Allows you to still have fun with your car in winter at or below freezing temps with very little loss of performance.
