Sorry, no experience using the All-Season Pilot Sport tires...but I am curious why you would even want this particular type?

These tires are a serious step down in performance across the board.

The only advantage I can see is the treadwear rating? Is that the reason?

Just throwing around ideas.... Either I get snows or don't drive when the weather's bad.

I used to live in Albany and had the PS A/S on my M3. They worked quite well in light to medium snow. If you live in areas where the roads and consistently plowed, the A/S are a good compromise between performance and grip in snow.

Of course, it is a compromise. Don't expect the grip of summer tires and the traction of full blown snow tires.
