Yeah, I know what i'm going to buy when my Potenza's wear out. 736 to give these kinds of averages is pretty good.

I'd go with either the supra or the MX... (both summers)
and i live around philly... just be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY careful when its wet/cold and drive SLOOOOOWWWwww when it snows... in the winter...
We get more warm days than cold days so...
Then u can take ur car to the local auto-x or track and it'd be better with summers than asx

So is the Ecsta an all season tire (given it has a snow rating)? I can't imagine how any all season tire can outperform even the crappiest summer tire given the different compounds used.

The Ecsta class has several tires in it. The ASX is simply an all season tire...where was there are others that are not.
As for performance....a lot of it has to to with tread pattern and the overall tire structure. Compound is important...but it's not the end all, be all.
