Bridgestone's Potenza G019 Grid rates 2nd to the Pilot Exalto in the Tire Rack survey. I've run many Bridgestone tires (including all-seasons on our 330xi) and while I think they are excellent, they are always heavier than other brands.

I'm also a huge fan of Michelins - the PS2s on my M5 are king-of-the-hill good. So those Exaltos are probably your best bet. The Dunlop SP Sport rates well also - and you can't go wrong with that brand either.

Sorry, but there is no better all season than the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. Just put them on, and wow. They hold the road better brand new than runflats did at 15k miles old. Also, they are 1000% more comfortable than the runflats ever were. Turn in is softer but that's what you get with a comfortable all season.

Ditto, replaced my Conti's w/ these and after 2500mi., so far ..so good.

I decided to sacrifice a little performance for MUCH better wear.
