Which all season tires are better for snow?

2Sol · 09-08-2018, 06:08 AM

I'm looking to replace my run flats pretty soon with all season tires, currently I'm deciding between Continental's DWS 06, Michelin's Pilot Sport A/S 3+, and Michelin's Premier A/S. Where I'm at we get about 6"-12" of snow during our winter seasons so I'm looking for the best all season tires for winter driving, I don't have room at my place to get a set of dedicated winter tires so I have to resort to the convenience of all seasons. Does anyone have any experience with these tires or have a better recommendation?

That's not a lot of snow.

I was a disappointed to find that the Michelins are not available in 17" so I'm going with Continentals.

On Michelin A/S 3+ in Maryland with ice storms and snow. Yes, I would buy another set of the A/S 3+.

I suggest calling Tire Rack to get their input, too.

DWS without a doubt. By far the best non-winter performance tire on the market. You give up some hot weather grip due to all the tread sipping, but they're killer in light snow.

Replaced by DWS-06 now - and just as awesome - run them on the wife's E84 in the summer.

I have both. My F23 was on DWS06 and is now on AS3+. F31 currently on DWS06. That's a better option for bad weather. The AS3+ is better when it's nice.

I had DSW's on my E92 and it was good in wet and light snow but pretty loud. I'm now on AS3+ with my F22 and they are great on the dry and we'll see how they do in a couple of months when winter is in full effect. Road noise is noticeably lower than the DSW's so I'm liking it so far.

I ran the DWS on my 135 for a long time. They are great tires. I replaced the pirelli all seasons on my m240 with them also. Really great tires.
