So, I'm trying to finalize my MY13 328i config, and I'm currently baselining all season tires... but I'm wondering just how bad the weather has to be to really worry about traction with the performance tire option?

I live in the San Francisco area, where there really are no seasons to speak of... it is normally fairly pleasant outside year round, almost never snows, and roads rarely if ever ice up. It does rain however, and with oil on the road that can impact traction... but I doubt all season tires would help with that.

Given the above, it sounds like performance tires should be fine for this area year round, or is there more to the equation that I'm not considering which makes the all season tires a better choice?

Thanks!
