tire suggestion request - e90 330i

I am looking to get new tires for my car, they are pretty shot now.
I have run-flats and hate them (poor performance and noisy), so I was thinking of getting 4 non run-flats and AAA so I could get a tow or tire plug if needed.

Looking for:
Car: 2006 BMW 330i w/17" wheels
Type: non-runflat all-season, brand new
Price: $120 - $200 per tire
Characteristics: Good performance, low tire-noise


Thanks

Many all-season tires are quieter, softer riding and have longer wear. These will not match the handling and grip of summer tires, but top all season choices would include the Bridgestone Potenza RE970 A/S Pole Position and Continental Extreme Contact DWS.

Other a little less expensive option for a performance all-season tire would be the Yokohama AVID ENVigor. http://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/detail/avid_envigor

That is what I am running on my daily driver 235/40R18 - 265/35R18, I am from Florida also.

I think I will try the Continental DWS next time.

The G-Max AS-03 is a good contender for an all-season, however they're a little on the noisy side. Otherwise they get good reviews.

+1 great tires, great grip, some road noise. Not that it concerns you, but they're amazing in NJ winters
