Best OEM Replacement RFT Tire (NON-SUMMER)

I own a 2007 328I (e92 non-sport) with Continental ContiProContact SSR's RFT's.

I've got just over 25K miles on them and I'd like to replace these before the winter.

I was wondering if there were better replacement RFT tires (NON-SUMMER) available?

I am not currently happy with the snow performance of my current tire.

Thanks.

You are going to need a dedicated snow tire for best snow traction. I would look into the blizzak LM 25 RFT for winter use.

The tires you have are the best of the bunch for winter traction in all season run flat tires. If you'd like more snow traction than these, you'll need dedicated winter tires for the winter season.

So go with the Continental ContiProContact SSR's again I guess?

Is there a newer version of the Continental ContiProContact that is superior to the SSR's that came with it?

Thanks again guys for all your help and guidance.
