Default What all season tire would you recommend?

I need something that will do well in the snow and has good dry/wet traction. I am tired of swapping summer for winter tires.

Default 2nd - Dunlop SP5000

Had them as only tire on my A4 in 16" and use them as winter tires on my S4 Avant (also 16").

Very good dry/wet performance, good in snow - excellent in snow w. quattro, reasonably priced, quiet, long-wearing.

Michelin Pilot Sport are $$$$$$$ .... may be better, though.

Exactly. Better and cheaper to keep swapping.

Default Use Dunlop Sp5000, it gets noisy when threads are low but not time to replace...

Also the snow traction is not as nice as conti-extreme or michelin's. Tireracks snow traction point is higher for those two than dunlop's

Overall, i am changing to new tires in 2 month (before winter) and I am not going to get the dunlop again.
