Oh boy. That's a whole 'nother thread haha

If you are going to do snows + summers, I run PSS (non-runflat) on all of my cars (Connecticut). Wife always gets excited when it's time to put sticky tires on haha.

I've gotten other tires when purchasing a car and they go ASAP. There are grippier tires, but the PSS perform admirably in rain and sun, give good feedback, etc. Can't go wrong with them as a daily. I've considered RE-71a for a summer for next year, but that's up in the air.

I run winter alpin, but the wife runs blizzaks. With AWD I've never had a problem with either. The stock E92 328xi tires were fine in the snow too though. My 328 beats her Subaru outback with stock tires (work vehicle) in the snow.

Even on a lease I eat tires too fast, so I was paying more for the garbage that BMW was giving me stock than high perf + snow tires. Saved me like ~$250/set and got better tires.
