All season or winter tyres advice?

I'm planning on running my Avensis with all season or winter tyres and I have found on a reputable online tyre supplier. Are there any downsides to running all weather tyres throughout the entire year? The car is on standard size tyres for an Avensis.

The latest are Michelin Cross Climate. Previous best were Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons. Coming soon are Nokian Weatherprood. All are year round tyres that also work well in the snow.
