I use them on my '89 100Q, and have recommended them to several
list members and others. They are (for an all-season) quite good
in the snow, and excellent on dry/wet. I have 30K on mine, and
they are still running strong. A friend with a 300+HP M5 that is
rear-wheel drive also uses them in the NH winter.
