Performance Cold Temp Tire Recommendations
I am looking to swap back to my OEM 437m but put a winter/all season tire on them for the winter. I will not drive it in the snow or even when it is wet out but I am looking for a tire that will perform well in cold temperatures as I still like to drive the car in the winter. Temps usually only get down to about 10-20f at the coldest where I live in the winter. All I am finding are all-season tires that would fit the 437m so I was wondering if anyone has some recommendations.

I live in Indy which is a similar climate to Cincinnati, and I just replaced the worn DWS06 with the Pilot Sport All-Season 4 on my F30 xDrive. These vids really pushed me in that direction, especially the snow review. Granted, the DWS06 Plus isn't in these videos b/c it's too new, but one could assume it'd perform similarly to the older DWS06
On the other hand, my wife was primarily concerned about road noise, and the DWS06 Plus was much quieter than the PSAS4 so I went ahead and put those on her 997 b/c she's less concerned with ultimate performance. I mean, let's be honest, the person putting any AS tire on a 911 isn't really all that concerned about ultimate performance either way. With as little as she tracks (and yes, she does occasionally track her 997), I seriously doubt she'll even notice the difference between her old MPSS and the new DWS06+, let alone the smaller difference between the DWS06+ and the PSAS4

I have Mich PS AS3+ as my cold weather set ( on 18" SM-10s) and I really like them. Same use case, cold and dry only as much as I can help it. No plans to take the M3 out in in the snow or wet/salt. That would change my decision. I have DWS06 on my e38 and I think they are a little too flabby for an M3, but are decent in light snow/cold wet.
Edit: I am not up on the differences between the AS4 and AS3+. |

Anyway, I can only assume that the AS4 is yet another step above the already really good AS3+, hence why I put them on my F30 this time around.
