Default Bridgeston Pole Position: RE960AS vs RE050A (all season vs max performance)

How would the RE960AS (all season) tires do compared to a ultra max performance tire like the Bridgestone RE050A Pole Position in dry/wet roads? The reviews in tire rack give it ratings almost as good as the summer/performance tire but I'm guessing that's based relative to all season tires.

I am planning to put these (all season) either on a 335xi coupe or 335i coupe. If I use these on a 335i how would they fair in light to moderate snow (I'm not planning to drive in extreme snow anyways).

Here are the all seasons: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....+Pole+Position

Here is the max performance tires:

I have the RE960A/S on my GS400 and have driven in a torrential down pour on a really hilly and curvy roads. They were awesome.

I've only driven these tires a few times in the snow. There were adequate and got me to where I wanted to go, no complaints. I will note that once snow hits, I put on my snow tires. No need to risk it.
