Best All season UHP Tires

I know it's 90+ degrees in most places but I don't know if the stock Bridgestone REO 50's will last the summer. So what I want to know is what is the best all season tires in your own opinion or experiences.

Rain/dry, or rain/dry/snow?

Isn't All-Season Ultra High Performance an oxymoron?

Lol true. For me, all season is dry/rain, so there's a lot of choices

I live in SE Colorado. I get most seasons in a couple of months. Extreme heat and cold. Sudden downpours and light snow with ice. I would like to get just one set of tires because of the extreme differences. 70 one day and 30 the next. I've had the toyo proxes 4- great dry tire, wore out in 20k. BFG KDWS- SUCK AT EVERYTHING. and the FALKEN ZIEX 912- Good passenger tire but that's about it. Just worried about winter in a RWD, but severe winter here only lasts a couple of weeks the rest of the time is hot,dry and windy.

Bridgestone RE960AS pole positions and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus are the 2 top tier high performance all-season tires with 40/45k mile warranties respectively.

Mid range performance all seasons would be Continental DWS and Yokohama ENvigors. Both are great tires for the money

I was thinking about the Bridgestone re960. looks great for 95% of my driving, but didn't rate to well in snow and ice.

I want the Conti DWS but doesn't make a 225/50/18 so I would have to mix and match the sizes.
