Ironically, that demo was on a 3 series but the Goodyear's do not come as a RFT.

Wet grip and ice/snow performance aren't really related. A lot of summer tires have amazing wet grip and hydroplaning resistance but terrible grip when it's cold and no bite in snow.

I remember the old Eagle F1 GS-D3 was INSANELY good in rain, but turned into crap when it got cold and had no bite in the snow.
