I had Potenza RE50 which is a more aggressive tire than DW, so I have driven a summer tire.
The difference in performance between RFT and non RFT is well beyond the difference between summer and all season.
Also my all seasons (Kumho 4x) were rated high for steering response and dry traction, so they were as close to a summer tire as you can get in an all season tire.
Either way I am happy with suspension set up and driving comfort of my X1 with 18 inch wheels. If I wanted a softer suspension I would get 17 inch wheels. I don't want it any softer than this and that is the reason for buying a BMW over a toyota or mercedes or any other car.
