I think you should add Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S to the list of contenders. Very good all-season, and cheaper than the Bridgestone.

Luke, do you mean the 960?

if money isn't an issue Bridgestone Potenza re960 are the best all-season tires you can buy.

+1 for VRWRX. I use Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S (235/45w17) for winter tires and they are nice snow/ rain tires. They are a little soft and squaky in the corners when everything drys up though. My summer tires are Goodyear Eagle F1's (245/40zr17)
