It's good, my PSSs would be getting shredded in the cold and I like the SottoZeros even in the dry
I found stress cracks on the front pair of MPSS's off the 535i. My guess is that they are from use in cold temperatures. And similarly I like the Alpins or other performance winter tires in any case.

It's a long story but I managed to get 50% off my next set of michelins (even the rears). I had a choice and went with the all-season pilots for the first time in more than a decade. I don't drive the 535i super hard. I guess it'll stay a bit floaty rather than responsive but float is what that car does anyway. I don't like the idea that i need to worry about temperatures. Also the PS4's were more $$$ in those 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 sizes.
