i am in Northern NM and temp drops to 0-30s degree during the winter month mainly from Dec to March. I have driven my 2018 M5 in 4-6 inches of snow with Yokohoma A/S tires, they did fine. The 2021 M5 have seen snow, maybe 3 or 5 times during the last 2 years. Drove from work to home, about 2 miles on stock Michelin tires, it made it home. The Michelin are awesome in warm weather but really bad if drops below 40 degrees.
I just came back from Vegas last month, it was an awesome road car with the Michelin. May have to drive other vehicles during snow and get some new summer tires.
thanks all for sharing
