Im running the Yokohama W drive V905's on 19" D4 Wheels at the moment on my D3 and they have been excellent so far, noticeably better cold temperature performance and pretty good on wear

PA4s all round on my S8, and a mix of PA4s and Sottozeros on my Model S.
Both are potential lifesavers in this weather and - personally speaking - I would never buy "cross-climates" for these cars, which I think are part marketing spin, and part compromise - and one that I wouldn't make on either car.

I fitted cross-climate Vredesden Quatrac 5s to my wife 500 about 2 months ago and she moaned at the time, since then, she's been going into work through snow and ice with no problem, I have also been all over europe with Quatrac 4s on my cabriolet before I sold it and would have bought them for my S8 except they don't make them in my size. Not all cross-climates are made equal!
the PA4s were amazing when I had them previously, Pirelli I am against full stop because a plethora of problems with the P-Zeros (thankfully gone now) but maybe the winters are different. Thanks for the feedback so far though, currently reading reviews on the Continentals... they also look very good.

If Dunlop do the Winter 3D or 4D in the right spec they're worth a look - we've run them for 3 winters on the S5 and been happy with them (although we're yet to see any meaningful weather down here) from a cold temperature performance point of view.
