So i drive a 2015 X3 xDrive28i and had Pirelli Cinturato (245/R50-18) All-Season Run-Flats installed as part of the CPO purchase.
Its time to switch the tires and I am planning on getting All season non-RFs to improve the drive and lifetime of the tires. I am also thinking of getting Touring tires in order to get better lifetime(unless someone can convince me that some performance tire will have similar lifetime)
I have done some research and short listed the following options:
1. Continental PureContact
2. BridgeStone Turanza QuiteTrack
3. Michelin Primacy AS
4. Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season
TireRack gives the following ratings:

I am in California(Silicon Valley) where it does not snow. But I do travel a lot to places where it rains/snows so i would like to stick to all-seasons.
I am mainly looking at
- Comfortable/responsive drive but with good cornering performance. I would rate myself as a relatively sporty/spirited driver especially on mountains/winding roads
- Relatively longer tread life
Would appreciate any help in deciding between these options along with some reasoning.
Thanks.
