Thinking about All-Season performance tires from the Summer tires.

As the title says, I am thinking about swapping out the Pilot Sport 4 summer tires for a good set of all season tires. What is the consensus for a recommended set of Ultra High Performance All Season tires?

I live in New England and this would be my second vehicle, but sometimes have to get places while my primary vehicle is being used. I am not planning on tracking the car and only plan to use the car to tear up narrow twisting back roads. I have had fast cars with summer tires in the past and know how completely useless they can be once the roads get cold and/or slick. While I might not be tearing up the roads in the winter with all season tires, I could at least still use the car to get around if the weather isn't fantastic, but still have fun when the roads are clear.

i am using the stock tires as my summer tires, and got an extra set of wheels and tires for spring/fall, and so I can store the car in the winter without putting it on blocks.(too cold in winter to leave the OEM tires on without potential freeze damage)
The high performance tire that I am using is the CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS.

i used this tire as the summer tire on my old 2004 WRX wagon and now on my 2023 GR.

It is a bit softer in feel than the OEM summer tires, but the difference is hardly noticeable on the street. I have been caught in an early snowstorm with them, and they work OK, just not as good as dedicated winter tires.
