Search the forums(using the forum search feature) and you'll find your answer. You'll find people running Michelin Pilot Sport Summer Tires, while others are running All Seasons.

I've got the round ones with grooves in them.

Seriously tho, I am in a wet area so right now I am running Conti DWS ExtremeContact all-seasons. They're very good for what they are.

Agreed. The Conti DWS Extreme Contact All seasons are on the 650i in the garage and they are very good.

How was the fitment with the 275s in the rear(rubbing)?, do you think you could have gone 285 or would you have stayed at the 275? Reason is its a dd so need it for everything...

The fitment on the 275's was fine, no rubbing.
I would just stick with 275's in the rear.
I believe you can run 285/35/18 Nitto 555R on the OEM setup.
