Agreed. I still put winters on our F15 but the all season non run flats are cheaper, handle the same, are more comfortable, and last longer. They also give that extra safety in the shoulder seasons in Canada where you still get the occasional blast of cold or snow. I've been caught flat footed with summers on and it's a disaster even with AWD, while the all-seasons perform 90% as well in winter. I think performance tires on a 7 passenger SUV is just a ridiculous concept - my old X6 50i maybe, but these are just family haulers.
Right now the Canadian configurator only has 22" RF performance tires (which I like the style of) and 20" all-season NRF (which I don't). I like the 21" all season option - hopefully they bring it here soon as I think that's the sweet spot between styling/sidewall height/maintenance cost/comfort/etc.
