Ok, now that we have that out of the way, what's everyone'e concensus on the current best all-season
tire out there. Where I live we usually get one or two significant snow storms per season, so snow is not a HUGE issue.
Basically looking for a high-performance all season.
Thanks!

You should look at tirerack.com and read impressions from people using
all-season high performance tires.
I'm currently using Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S and I'm happy with them.

I'd still think about snow tires if your average winter temp is below 40.
Even if you don't have much snow, they'll still be better in cold temps and on the occasional black ice.
Once you try snow tires in the winter, you'll never go back to all-seasons.

I have used Pirellis P-zero Nero and Kumho Ecsta ASX with satisfaction
both highspeed rated. both a little noisy. both fairly grippy and predictable. Pirellis seemed to be a little quieter though.

love my Nero M+S so far (about 20k miles), also love the Falken 912s on the beater benz
Those Falkens are actually VERY good, and VERY cheap on edgeracing.com. Someone I know has them in our size on his A3 and LOVES them. They're quiet, comfy, and look like they'll wear great on my Benz.

That's good to hear re: Falkens as I just put a set of these on my '98
328ic - hope I like 'em as much as you seem to like yours. Seem to have great "bang for buck" (keeping fingers xxxxxx'd). Fwiw, these are replacing a set of Nero M+S's that developed unusual level of cracking in the treads @ only 15k miles (aka "dry rot" to quote the terminology of my indy mech).
