I have a little shop van I just ordered all weathers for, so I'm taking this to another vehicle.
My personal car I still go with winters, but that's because I couldn't find any all weathers to fit it.

All weathers with good tread and less than 5 years old are great for almost all city driving and a bit of highway driving if left on vehicle year round. After that they're still decent in the city, but IMO they get a bit sketchy on highway due to age, lower tread and the fact they're not as grippy as regular winters in the first place.
They only thing I'm aware of they're not as good as All seasons for are 1. Price and 2. Durability. But honestly speaking, I've never hated some of the OEM all seasons as much as I hated the All seasons I had on vehicles about a decade ago. They seem far more terrible than any tire I've ever owned. They're ####e even in the summer. They seem to hydroplane easier, they're noisy, grip sucks... blah. I've been in half a dozen new vehicles and always the OEM all seasons feel like junk. Brand new all seasons (I have purchased in the last few years) do not feel as junky as the all seasons straight from the car dealership.
