I have just fitted a set of Good Year Excellence to my A4. Good Year website
has these as summer tyres. When shopping for tyres, Michelin Pilot Sport is
classed as a summer tyre by Michelin, Bridgestone RE050 is classed as a
summer tyre by Bridgestone. We had Continental SportContact 2s fitted to the
A4. Conti do call it an all-season tyre but it would be crap in snow so the
designation is misleading.

We used Bridgestone RE720s on our Bora - Bridgestone class it as a summer
tyre.

Feel free to browse any of the manufacturers websites. I'm not making this
up

As has already been stated, a summer tyre is not a slick as it still needs
to handle wet roads. Summer tyres give poorer performance in COLD conditions
e.g. < 5C than Winter tyres. They also give very poor performance in snow
due to their tread pattern designs.
