RE: Continental CH95's, Dunlop D60A2's, Pirelli P600 M+S, or Pirelli P6000 Sport V's

I think, in the category of all-season H-rated tires, the Bridgestone RE930
would be a better choice than any of these, except maybe the P6000 Sport
Veloce. They're not quite the dry performer as some of the V-rated
all-seasons (like the Yoko AVS S-4), but they will last longer and are
decent in snow.

I'm using the RE930's on my 5000 now and they do well in all conditions,
even been through several snowstorms. Also, much quieter and smoother than
either the D60's or Firestone SH30's I tried on the car before.

I think I have narrowed my tire choices down for my car and guess I want the

lists opinion on which is the best all round all season radial for mostly
dry 
sometimes wet and every once in a while snow on the ground.  For those 
listers in the Denver area you can add your opinion on how they will wear on

our roads and stuff.  My choices are Continental CH95's they seem to handle 
excellent on the BMW's I have driven with them.  Dunlop D60A2's are the only

H rated tire Dunlop makes that fits my car.  And the Pirelli P600 M+S or 
P6000 Sport Veloce because my car originally came with P6's on it from what
I 
understand.  All of the above manufactures are O.E. tire suppliers which I 
tend to like for some odd reason and please no one suggest Yokohama I know 
they are a great tire but I do not like the designs on them for some reason 
(don't know why yet) and I am not going to buy them.  I would have put 
Goodyear in there but I only like the RS-A and low and behold it isn't made 
in a 195/60HR14 and I heard the snow traction really sucks too.  This is for

daily driving listers not for racing so I want a tire that will wear a while

too even when driven hard on the occasion.  If anyone has other manufacture 
suggestions (besides Yokohama and Summito) please feel free to offer the 
suggestion.  Thanks for all your help guys.
