Huh?
Treadwear and traction are 100% dependent on each other so not sure what you are trying to say.
you could have an all-season tire, or even a winter/snow tire with better traction in some instances than a summer tire.

and no 3 series is FWD... so

The conti's have plenty of traction, even for a higher HP vehicle.
I would bet they preform better than a sub-par low-end 'summer performance' tire that would have a much lower treadwear rating.
