So I thought I would start early and get my winter rubber on.
I don't drive the X1 a lot in the Fall, so it was nicer to slap them on with the warmer temps now
vs colder before the snow flies.
(I have separate wheels and rubber for winter)

I knew my OEM All season tires were getting close to the end and I thought I could get to use
them for one more summer going into 2017, but not the case. They are almost right on the markers.
I have 42K km's(26K miles) on the odometer and I would guess about 37K km's(23K miles) on the OEM rubber.
(Winter wear of course for the other 5K)
My OEM all seasons are the Continental ContiProContact's.

I still prefer RFT's, so I'm wondering what others have gone with after their OEM rubber has worn out. I have dedicated winters so I can go with another All Season tire, or a straight summer tire.

I have all winter to shop, but thought I would get the "shopping ball" rolling.

I've got the Goodyear Assurance Tripletread and I really like them. But that's without a dedicated winter setup. I had really good experience with Bridgestone RE760 Sport and would recommend them as well, but of course only with dedicated winters.

Thanks Vstolpner, where did you get them from?

Craigslist for the Goodyear's.. got a great deal (balanced on a set of OEM wheels off of an E60) for $600 :-DDDD
And tire rack for the Bridgestones

I have the Pirelli P7 runflats on my 2014 s28i M Sport. I drove one day when it was snowing and temp was 30deg outside. Roads were slushy, and I never felt loose.

They are the best tires I've ever had (18k miles and fronts half worn, rears 2/3 worn), and are good enough for 5 track days on them.

I imagine they are close to traction of Michelin PSS, and very good in wet or dry.

I can't tell if they are rough since they are smooth on smooth roads.

However, I'm gonna buy MIchelin PSS next time to get lower profile, lose a few #'
s, and save a few $'s.

If I bought runflat my P7's would be the ones.

I have Pirelli snows and like them a lot. I'll have to check out the P7's.
