In some places, like Pacific Northwest, it rains most of the year, 40F half a year.
Summer tires fail at such low temperatures, and winter tires are too noisy. Not to mention there's no snow.
So, all seasons make sense. People here drive around on all seasons for 2-4 years straight. I personally do not know a single person who switches tires between snow and summer.
I recently put 18" Continental DWS. Extremely happy with them. Zero hydroplanning on wet roads (unlike the Bridgestone RFTs), and we here in Seattle know what wet roads are.
