I'm currently running the p4000's on my 5000CSQ (87) as I wanted an M+S rated
all season and the sales droid recommended them highly. They are OK from a
handling perspective, and did well in the only significant snow we had here in
Albuquerque (ie I was passing everyone with ease in 4-6", in control...).

 However

I do not like how much road noise I'm getting, and OK does not equal thrilled.
I'm also getting some vibration now that they've worn, and while it may *not*
be the tires, I'm going to try something else next time around. Just my $.02..
