If you're worried about summer tire performance in rain generally as far as I'm aware of summer tires have better rain performance than all seasons, where all seasons shine is colder temperatures.

Personally my plan is once the temperature starts warming up again is switch the tires on my nismo wheels to some summer tires then once the weather starts to get cold next winter is grab a set of cheaper (yet still nice) wheels and put my all season tires on them.
Thanks for the feedback and help guys I think I'm going to go with a summer set then switch to winter tires
