Those characteristics are not to be expected with performance tires.
Is there any truth to the myth that a performance all-season tire doesn't handle as well as a summer performance tire?

Truth. The best performance tyres are all summer only. Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD-07, Falken Azenis ST615 and 215, Khumo Ecsta MX, BF Goodrich T/A KD, Pirelli P Zero Rosso Directional, Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position. These are some of the world's best tyres. None of them are designed for all season uses and many are damaged if the weather gets too cold. No all season ultra high performance tyres can touch them. And obviously, the best performers in dry traction will give way to ability in wet traction with a few exceptions.
