I had the Michelin Cross Climates on my V70 - they were very good in the wet and cold, and surprisingly wore very well, with 4mm of tread left after 20k miles from new.
They were a bit baggy in the dry summer conditions and squealed a bit on roundabouts if a little spirited, which in a wobbly Volvo is not very spirited at all.
So like you I have my concerns about using these all year round on an A8.
I think I might just get a duplicate set of wheels for winter, keeping one set as the 'good' wheels with decent sport tyres.
