Upsize to 225 F / 255 R.

I am very impressed with the Conti Extreme Contact DW (summer) and Extreme Contact DWS (summer + shoulder seasons...I can't condone an all-season for real winter, that's what winter tires are for).

Can't go wrong.

As to the "floaty" feeling, well, that's actually what the car feels like, it's just completely numbed out with the run-flats, which are truly, not the way to go. M-cars don't come with run-flats...for a reason, as they're still not very good (and too heavy, and too expensive, and too fragile if you were to actully drive on it while flat).
