At the same time, the AS PS4 seems to be a bit of an extreme AS tire. The Crossclimate seems like a very solid year round tire.

I'll probably buy the full PS tires for the 718 when it needs new ones, but I am seriously considering the AS PS4 for the M5. Maybe t will make the ride better too. The ride on the P-Zero's seems stiff.
I would describe that AS3+ as "usable" in light snow based on my testing. It'll cover you if you really need it, but it's definitely not the first choice. As a second/third choice for winter driving, it's great in DC. I'd definitely want more winter traction available further north in a daily.
