Best all-season tyres?

We have a MINI Cooper D Clubman 65 reg, with 21000 miles, and need to replace the tyres. We live in a low lying area with lots of water. Would you still recommend Continental All Season Contact to replace the Michelin 195/55 R 16 87V? Which would give me more peace of mind with the up and down climate?

Our favourite all-season tyres are actually the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tyres, but the Continental versions also perform well. Consider the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 tyres which perform surprisingly well in tests given they are generally cheaper.
