Cost effective all season tire recommendation

[rev68]

You may actually save money by getting some 18s and swapping for cold season. It will pay itself off in a couple years. 18s have alot more all season, cost efficient tires.

Thanks for the suggestion, but space for an extra set is an issue (condo living) as well as I really need to force myself to find a new owner for the car in the next few months. I'll have my 3rd kid with a driver's license in January and both my cars are manual cars with around 500HP. The M3 needs to go.

Do you need 18s or 19s?

My bad, I meant to throw in the specs. 8.5x19/10x19 stagger. Currently have 245/35/19 on the front and 270/30/19 on the rears.

Thank you!

While I really need to sell (read: trade it for an automatic transmission vehicle my 3 teenagers can drive) my 2002 M3, I can't quite bring myself to do it yet. That being said, the PSSs I have on the rear are way past due to be replaced, and thanks to a series of tire punctures, I have PS4s on in the front that don't need to be replaced (but I will if it makes sense on the tire recommendations.)

I'm in the DMV, where we don't get much snow or super cold weather, and I leave the car inside when the weather is bad, but very occasionally, I'll need to pick up a kid from school/event/whatever and I may get stuck in some light snow, or colder road conditions.

Seeing as I really do need to re-home my M3 sooner than later, I don't want to throw down and just throw expensive Michelin PS4s or All Seasons, as the next owner will most likely have different needs.

Any cost effective recommendations? Thanks in advance.
