Even though the mentioned michelin's are all season version of a performance tire, they would probably offer you nearly the same performance characteristics you are used to.

And I bet Toyo has something that would be a good compromise if you really enjoy their quality as much as you say you do.

For Kumho's, I've had nothing but horrible experiences with them (3 seperate times, once was a free replacement of all 4) and have vowed they will never be on any car I own ever again.
Thanks - agreed on your above points, time to rethink. I guess Khumo gives mixed experience. On Toyo - I think they have some very good, decent (like the proxes4), and horrible tires (mostly tires made specific for car mfg to be on the car as sold). Michelin - I will need to look into it, I liked their wintersport M tires.
