With all-season tires, you are getting the "second-best" of any tire style, rolled into one. This means you're getting good to great traction in all seasons, but probably not the best for any specific season. You might get a little bit better traction on snow, but sacrificing some wet gripping capability.
As for summer tires, or any season-specific tire for that matter, they're usually offering the best technology for summer. When conditions don't involve snow, go for the summer tire. You get great grip in both wet and dry conditions. However, if you live somewhere (like NC) that experiences all seasons, you're going to want either winter tires or opt for the more manageable all-season tires.
Here's a great article from Popular Mechanics covering this issue more in-depth. Ready to get new tires? Parks Mazda can help you decide which are best for you, or help you find the ones you want.
