What's the best all-season for snow?

[DKRyan]

My work keeps me on the road alot and I am looking for the best high-performance all-season tire based on it's performance in snow conditions. I am not wanting to go for snow tires due to the dry miles I put on - wearing them out. The Pzero reated great, but not as high it seems in snow, ContXtreme - great performance, are the only complaints on this tire noise? Kumho, G009's? Suggestions, experience would be greatly appreciated as this is a new car to me and I need to find some tires to get me around places like Aspen, Park City at times. Current set-up 235/50zr18x8.5. I want to stay with these wheels rather than go back to stock. Running these on a '95 740i.

I leaning towards the ContX 245/45- 18 even after hearing about some people's flatspotting. Responses? Opinions? Appreciated.[/FONT]
