Best all season tire for the M340i?
I have the Pirelli run flats. I’ll probably keep those for a while longer, but when the time comes I want to change, here are what I want:
1. Good all around handling & grip 2. I’ m driving in winter and wet weather 3. A less stiff ride, so I prefer non run flats What do people here suggest? Thanks

We had an usual dumping of snow this winter in the Vancouver areas. These AS tires performed exceptionally well in slush, fresh powdery snow and compacted ones! Really pleased with the set. Bear in mind these may be so because they are new. And may be good for one or two more winters as they're still allseasons regardless. Also depending on whether you'd swap them out for stock Summers when the weather warms up again. So as to maximize usage out of both my Michelin PS4S set and this set of DWS-06+ On non snowy days I've also tried pushing this AS set harder both on dry and damp roads. I find even though it's got softer sidewalls, the handling qualities aren't compromised much compared to my set of Michelin summers. Ride quality and noise are much improved too.

How well would you say the Conti's perform on warm, dry roads compared to summer performance tires?

I have Pilot Sport A/S 4s on mine (staggered setup) and they're great, no complaints traction is awesome for cold weather. Snow not so much, if there's any on the ground I'll keep it in the garage

I don't know guys, but I'm seeing these as taking the top rating for high performance all seasons:

I'm running Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate on staggered 18's. I would have gone with Conti DWS but they don't meet the load rating for my wheel setup.
