I should also mention that I have been completely happy with these tires. Ride wise it is an entirely new car without having the harshness of the run flats.
Performance wise, I didn't really get to push them on my track day as it was right around freezing with a light snow and wet track. However, I've gone on some of my more fun driving routes and have really like the added grip. Way better than the Eagles.
I've also noticed that by going to a slightly wider tire the car is more stable at high speeds. The car used to be slightly jittery on the highway, but feels rock solid now. I thought the added width might negatively impact turning slightly, but really have not noticed anything here.
As for the Summer vs All-Season debate, having a late snow storm this year (May 18th) just re-enforced my decision to go the A/S route.
Overall I would absolutely buy these again.
