I just had mine upgraded from OE to Michelin Crossclimate2 with the $80 Michelin discount. So far so good.
Another option is to run four-season tires like the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Those are not as good as dedicated winters, but do have the mountain/snowflake symbol and can be left on year 'round. My daughter in AA takes that approach and seems happy with the compromise.
I am running Michelin crossclimates year round.
Those ain't snow tires. Get some Michelin ice x 3
At 70K miles I went with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S4 tires. That was about 7,000 miles ago and they are by far the best tires I have had on this car.
The sportiest all-weather tires are probably the Michelin CrossClimate 2, Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2, and Pirelli WeatherActive.
Pilot Sport AS4
Pilot sport all season 4
I did get caught out by black ice last week and skidded a bit but then also got caught out in a different place in my mums car which is on Cross Climates, doing about 20mph both times. Both times I luckily got away with it but black ice is black ice, Cross Climates may give a slightly better chance of getting it back after skidding but not enough to be worth it imo.
On my G80 M3, Michelins were lasting about 10-12k miles
On my X5M -- Michelins last 10k miles tops.
