Default Winter tyres

I usually fit full winter tyres at this time of year on a dedicated second set of wheels, but this year I'm thinking of just going for a set of all seasons on my normal wheels. I can't be bothered with the initial expense and the hassle of getting them changed over twice a year. I live in the extreme north of Scotland at sea level and although they're very cold, like everywhere else in the UK, the winters here are wet rather than overly snowy.

I'm not about to get into a debate on the relative merits of all seasons v. full winters - I know they are compromised in comparison to winters and summers.

Can anyone recommend good all season tyres from personal experience? I've heard very good things about Pirelli Scorpion Verde all seasons, apparently they're OE on Range Rovers etc and have great snow capabilities but I've not heard much about their summer performance.

The new Michelin CrossClimate sounds perfect but it's not available in SUV sizes yet.
