My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I drive the all-seasons in Massachusetts and so far I've had no problem whatsoever. I drive an all-wheel drive E60, but I also drive an E46 in the snow with just the GoodYear Triple tread tires and it's also fine. Slow speeds and anticipation does the trick for me. I realize that dedicated snow tires might be better, but with the proper skills and slow speed I don't have to go through the hassle of changing tires twice a year.

How well do snow tires preform in snow when there is 25-50% tred life remaining? do they preform the same as when they were brand new?
The more the tread, the better the tires perform in snow/rain. Dry weather you can get away with it...
All seasons suck, my fwd slips like crazy, stops shitting on all seasons. Winters are the way to go man.
