Buying new tyres - which are best?

I want to buy a new set of tyres for my car, but can’t decide between winter, summer or rain tyres. What do you think?

If buying a full set, buy Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons. These are excellent all weather tyres. Do not fit this type of tyre just to two wheels of the car. Must be to all four.
