Update:
I've had the tires almost 2 years now, about 30k. They've been fantastic, once the first 500/1000 miles were gone they tightened up not a greasy. They're still a little soft on hard corners but very predictable and very stable. Tread wear has been outstanding, 10/32's left would say 80k wouldn't be all that difficult although with snow i don't think I'd push it.
Handles the rain very well, only in the deepest of puddles as speeds that are unreasonable for the conditions does it hydroplane. As for snow they're decent tires at slower speeds < than 30mph. Once over that speed you're rolling the dice some as they have a tendency to ride on top of the snow and slush versus cutting through it. I'd say that's more a trait of such a wide tire.
These tires worked very well on my X5, they were eaten alive by my wife's Toyota and only lasted 31k. Once past the 5/32 mark they get unbearably loud, then again her SUV is loud to begin with.
My driving style is mostly highway very spirited, I have been known to test the limits of this car especially on cloverleafs!
