Question Unique(?) Tire Needs

So, I just picked up a 2008 Evo X MR. Love it. It came with winter tires on there, and so I need to get those off. I was gonna grab the Hankook Ventus as they look like an optimum balance between cost and performance.

Well, then I got to thinking about it a little more. I live on a dirt road. Attached is a picture of my PB Evo after only one day of driving on the dirt roads by my house after one storm (I plan on picking up some Rally Armor flaps, too). This time of year we get enough rain to turn the dirt to mud pretty often. The dirt and gravel get really loose when wet. So, I'm concerned about the traction of summer tires on the slick stuff. To be fair, most days only 5% of my driving is on dirt, but they do get slick relatively often, and there are days I do more than 5%.

So, should I grab the Hankooks? Should I run an All Season? Thoughts?

Thanks.

Performance M+S all-seasons might be a nice compromise for you.
