If you look at the Tire Rack winter road tests, the Potenza 970s don't do so well in snow: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...r.jsp?ttid=147

I previously had Potenza 960s and was satisfied with dry and wet performance. We recently got new tires (road debris destroyed our tires) for our 128i and ended up with Continental ExtremeContact DWS. I wanted 970s but Bridgestone doesn't build them in the right fitment for our 128i (we don't need snow performance).

I preferred the steering feel of our previous tires (Hankook V12) but haven't really tested the DWS out on any curves yet.

Since you get snow and Continental is not a choice I will vote Pirelli.
