Watching that video, and echoing comments by Nick and others, the All-season PS is so damn goo din the dry, it makes little sense to get the full PS.

That said, winter performance is marginal, but I have winter tires, so I'm good with that. I would happily trade off that final 5% of performance in the dry for significantly better performance in the shoulder season.

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.
