What kind of power are you making, and what kind of weather do you drive the car in?
Are you talking about the F1 GS-D3? If so, those are good tires and you'll be ok. I wouldnt touch any other Goodyears with a ten foot pole though.

I've used the Eagle F1 GS-D3s. They have great all-around performance in the summer both wet and dry with good wear. I think they have the best and most predictable wet traction you can get out of a street tire.
If you're looking for maximum dry traction for track or autocross then they're not quite as grippy as some other streetable tires. But those cost more and don't last as long.

If you are really looking for an all season tire, those aren't going to help in the snow. If you must drive your car in the snow, buy an extra set stock stock rims for about $300-400 and put full snow tires on them. Then on your other set, get a decent set of summer tires like the Kumho MX or Falken 615's.

If you aren't thinking about driving during the winter, then don't get an "all season" tire. Performance tires deal with water just fine (if you get the right one). I would suggest looking at the mentioned Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 or the Kumho MX. Both of those have very good dry and wet performance.

Take a look at the F1 GS DS - they're a great tire in dry and rain. You can't go wrong. And I believe they also have an 'all-season' version in some sizes that's got improved rain capabilities while retaining the performance rating.
