We learned a valuable lesson about the "VDC OFF" button today thanks to b1ades

So after a quick inspection of my tires today I discovered that I have Yokohama Advan Sport summer tires on the front and Yokohama Advan S4 all season tires on

So after a quick inspection of my tires today I discovered that I have Yokohama Advan Sport summer tires on the front and Yokohama Advan S4 all season tires on the rear.
This may help explain the events described in this thread.

This now further complicates my tire buying decision for the summer. It also doesn't help that Im low on cash and quickly burning through my savings. Some advice would be appreciated. I've been thinking of getting all seasons to deal with rain and snow since I don't have any other car to drive. Also considering a set of 4 new hankooks since they're really cheap and last a long time. I'm not going to be hitting the track anytime soon, maybe just a cruise at the most (with VDC on ). Just need something for a DD that's cost effective but not complete Crap either. Also wanted to go a little wider with 245 on the front and 275 rear (stock sizes are 225 front and 245 rear) Here are my choices:

1) 2 advan s4 all seasons to match the rear = $350

2) 2 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS pole positions as a better performing all season tire = $450

3) 4 Hankook V12 summer tires = $646

What do you guys recommend? I'm leaning towards the all seasons to help avoid any bad weather disasters.
