Default Great tires. I thought the T1-R replaced those?

I used to run Proxes 4 exclusively! For the money, you can't beat them.

Default bad overall when it counts

counts meaning when there's any sign of frozen precipitation (snow, frozen rain, sleet, etc)...

Had them on my a4 and spend 2 MI winters with them...they're pretty slick and won't stop you for ****. They're also very noisy.

the contiextreme's I had afterwards were miles and miles ahead in terms of foul weather grip and noise.

Default I have them currently, only because they came on the car..I agree with Jeff

They dont stop you for **** in the snow, good in the rain though. Ive had to replace 2 fronts so far, around 250 per installed.

Default Wifes car gets dedicated summer/winter (not to mention better rubber)

Why go all season for the car the wife and kid are in most of the time? Precious cargo and all

My wife gets F1-GS-D3s (for maximum wet performance) on forged BBS for the summer and 3Ds in the winter.

Default My mom has the Continental Touring Contact's on teh BMW

They work pretty well, considering the car is RWD. Just another option.
