Default Best All Season tire

What would you guys recommend best all season tires? I am looking at tires with good snow traction and year around driving.
I currently have 1997 A8 with 16" rims w/Dunlop Sport A2 and it seems to develop flat spots and gives me front end vibration.
I was considering Continental Extreme contact. Good reviews.

Nokian WR is the only all-season tire with "severe snow rating."

Default Michelin Pilot Sport All-Seasons are awesome in the rain.

Don't know how they are in the snow.

Default ContiExtremeContact

I only have 100 miles on mine but so far I really like 'em. I replaced Goodyear Eagle LS tires when I got 18-in wheels a couple of weeks ago. The Goodyears were practically new also, but they were much noisier and not as sure footed in dry weather. We'll see when it rains.

Default I've always liked Michelin MXV4s. Had them on my

200 Turbo Quattro Wagon and now my '01 A8L. Great in San Francisco rain and Lake Tahoe snow.
