Will i lose anything buy purchasing these over Max performance summer tires? The reason i am considering going with these is because i don't like my stocker for the winter. I want to keep my rims on all year round basically. I know that Max performace tires are the best around, but would i be compromising anything at the track by buying all season tires?
 
There is no such thing as a free lunch.

If the tires are designed to work on snow/ice/mud, etc, then they will not be as good when it's dry.

ps. com'on ... did you really have to ask this? You knew it was true. I, too, can wish that it weren't true, but let's face reality, OK?

Well i guess i can always hope...LOL. Actually i was just hoping it wasn't a serious compromise or at least one i wouldn't notice.
 
If you have ever run on R-compound tires (Kumho V700s, V70As, or the new V710, or Hoosiers), then even the step back to a very good street tire is extremely disappointing. And then when you get some M+S tires, it's like someone went out and screwed up your suspension when you weren't looking.

My advice: get the summer tires that you want and a second set of rims with some Blizzaks or Graspics for the winter. Yes, this will cost $500 extra, but - if you're anything like me - the compromise of M+S tires year-round is unacceptable. (The 16 months on Kumho 712s were the longest of my life.) I now have three sets of alloys and tires: some Kosei K1s with R-compounds for racing; a nice-looking set of 17s with MXs for the summer on the street; and a bashed-up set of no-names with Graspics for the winter and RallyXing. Yeah, so this means no FMIC, but that's how my priorities come out.
