Default Winter/All-Season Tire Options (more)

Lets assume the following:
1. I have no desire to store an extra set of wheels/tires and;
2. I have no room to store the same.

What are some recommendations as to a good happy medium, year round tire that will provide good summer performance as well as traction in the mountains for the winter. I know I may be asking too much of a tire, but there must be something out there that is usable year round and performs at lease decently in both seasons.

I have the RS4 18" contisport 2 tires, and am looking to use the same wheels....so 235/40r18 is the tire size.

Any/all recommendations welcome!

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. Big money, but big all-season performance to go with it. Durable, too.

Good call. This is what I'll likely get when the snow flies.

Default I've got the Michelin Pilot Alpin and they are incredible....

Very good in the snow and in the dry .. and very durable. I've got 25,000 miles on mine and they show hardly any signs of wear.
