I just got them and I can testify they do well in rain, snow and ice (and dry of course). Not to mention they go for only $89 a pop for 235/45 R17. You can get a slightly better tire if you want to pay more (Pirelli Nero M&S would have been my second choice).

$89? They can not possibly handle well.

I've got Dunlop SP Sport 5000's on my '92 325i. I find their handling and grip excellent both in dry and wet weather. So far, they're the best tire I've had on this car.
