Is it worth putting all-weather tyres on a Volkswagen Passat Alltrack?

I need to change the tyres on my Volkswagen Passat lltrack. I live in rural Wiltshire and have had a set of winter wheels and tyres in the past. Please can you tell me whether it is worth while buying all weather tyres. I am concerned that they would not be as good as winter tyres and would not wear as well as summer tyres in the warmer months.

I've found them to be excellent. 10,000 miles in a Honda HR-V on Michelin Cross Climates and now have a set of Continental All Season Contacts on a FIAT 500. The Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons fitted on Peugeots with Grip Control also work very well.

Check Tyres On The Drive (bit.ly/2ZlEVaR) and Blackcircles.com (bit.ly/2JM6bqG) for sizes and prices and read our Tyre Buying Guide (bit.ly/2wsFHBU).
