I've heard that the Continentals are good.

Can anyone recommend a good all-season tire for the S5?

No one runs All-Seasons?

Someone has got to run "All Season" tires and has an opinion.

Hard dealing with two sets of tires here, thought the all seasons might be a good option.

Personally, I would stay away from Continental as I've heard nothing but bad things about them.
I suggest you go to tirerack.com and look at various tire options in your wheel size. They actually test and rate the tires they sell and also have tons if user reviews.

P.S. I'm not associated with tirerack in any way.

Bridgestone all day long. What wheels? 19 or 20?

TopDownDriver

They are 19" and the Continental were the highest rated on Tire Rack.

Are the Bridgestones better? Why so?

I have to say that continentals are good too. Bridgestones are generally quite hard tires and my good mate who works for Audi says they last about 5-8k miles more on S5s.

Here is a link to the top-rated all seasons for the S5.

(I think I have the right size for the standard rims)

Let me know if you think I should consider any others other than the Continentals. (There is no Bridgestone available)

I don't have personal experience with them, but I've heard only good things about the Michelon Pilot Sport A/S Plus. Compared to the Continental DWS, they trade some snow performance for improved dry performance.

Do we really need snows in Connecticut? My S5 should show up late Nov/Dec. The dealer suggested I could run on the stock skins and when they need replacing go with a good performance all-season. Sounds like a compromise but it would save a lot on the extra rims/skins. I'd put the $ into an exhaust.
