You can get decent grip and all season, but high grip, probably not

That being said, I have Michelin AS/3 all season on my 996, they do perform pretty well, good grip and tread wear. My only complaint is they are really noisy, especially on grooved concrete like most of the freeways here in San Diego.
Could be that they are 19's?

I haven't tracked the car or did an AX with that rubber, but a bunch of spirited back road driving with them
the rims are 18!!
