I need some help with tires. I know that this subject get out hand fast but let me give it a try.

Front tires are shot and need to be replaced immediately, back look to have better then 50% of life left in them. tires at all four corners are Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, I read some of the reviews on tire rack web site and for the most part is pretty good. I will be putting about 20.000 mi a year on them and will be driving in all kind of weather (they rated great on dry and rain but not so good in the snow) I will need to use them year round. I drive about 70 miles a day mostly hi way 75%. I know snow tires are an option but I probably need to buy a set of rims and snow tires most likely 16 in rims & tires, I'm currently using M parallels that come with my 740i sport.

I had these same Goodyears on my car previously and loved them EXCEPT FOR two things - any kind of snow/ice and wear.

These are strictly three-season tires and I was completely through the tread in less that 15K miles (and I virtually never push my car). For the price, I wanted something that lasted a bit longer.
