I had them on my previous cars. IMO they are the best all season tires out there. Pricy, but tires are more important than people give them credit for. As soon as I get my 530i, I'm putting the Michelins on.

I've never had winter tires on any of my cars. Just put on the best A/S tires I could find. And so far the Pilot Sport A/S have been the best. Of course don't go crazy in the snow, but they are fine. If you plan to go in really heavy snow, then get winter tires. For regular around the town or highway Boston winters they have been great for me.

I have them and love them but can't comment on winter performance in that I'm in SoCal...I went with them in that I'm running a 19" wheel on my 545 and was looking for a little bit better tread wear then I was getting with my Michelin PS2 (also 19") that I was running on my previous 525

As for the dry...good looking tire (if that type of thing is important to you), and a good handling tire in the dry...when pushed to the limit not as grippy as the PS2....but that's no surprise
