Summer tires stop faster in wet conditions than all season tires. I’m not sure about mud but it seems silly to worry about such a rare use case.
133 feet is close to what every other car gets when equipped with all season tires. The cars getting much better distances are using summer tires.
Up until the point they hyrdroplane. Summer Performance tires often have a tread pattern that doesn't evacuation water as well as All Season tires.
To add to the fun they often have poor treadwear ratings meaning you end up driving on less tread for the same amount of miles.
Average out the traction they have over the life of the tire and you see they don't always have the traction they have when new and that changes the comparison.
