It depends on how aggressive your summer tires are. My current sporty car has summer performance 285/305s and they do not like much rain, very susceptible to hydroplaning with little standing water. All seasons work much better in those types of conditions, so it could be worth it, but mainly depends on how aggressive your summer tires are. The other thing is that when you do this, you can maximize the summer tires where they perform best and if you do it with an extra set of wheels, it makes it easy to do yourself.
