I just bought a 325ci convertible which needs new rubber (205 55 16").

What are some of the best all round tires. Interest - I would rather compromise wear and keep the best summer and winter performance.

Consumer reports liked Dunlop SP Sport 5000, Michelin Pilot Exalto, Continental procontact, etc..

Recommendations - Thanks

In Minnesota? All seasons???? You gotta be kiddin' me.

Get a big honkin' 4x4 for winter (preferrably with monster mudder tires). Leave bimmer in nice warm garage.

Seriously, a low clearance rear-wheel vehicle isn't going to perform in a snowy winter. Even the best all-seasons can't handle snow well, much less ice. That's thanks in part to the highly compromised tread compund, which for all-seasons is highly biased to warmer weather conditions.

Common sense says you're just tempting fate.
