the problem with all seasons, is that they're a jack of all trades, master of none.
they're okay street tires, and they can be pretty cheap. they're hardly "snow tires" but they'll get you by in cold weather or anything under an inch of snow. the primary issue with running them as "snow" tires, is increased stopping distance and questionable turning abilities.
i also understand that there's a downside to running 3 sets of dedicated wheels (track, summer, winter). I live in a condo, so i have very limited space. we hardly get any snow in the DC area, and I don't drive to work. if there's snow on the ground, i try to get a ride, or just avoid going.
if you can run 3 sets of wheels, then you definitely should (especially if the z4m is your only mode of transportation). if you don't then, having dedicated track tires, and some all seasons will get you by.
as far as all seasons go, i've been really happy with Falken Ziex 512's and 912's. cheap and good grip in the rain/light snow.
