Default 2011, 19" wheels w/ 255/35 tires

How's the ride on these wheels/tires? Suggestions for all-season tires?

I enjoy the looks and ride of my 19" Sport pkg (255x35 Pirelli P-Zero).... in the Summer. For Winter I go with dedicated snow tires on 18" rims (Michelin Pilot Alpin 245x40).

All season tires are a compromise, although good in areas without significant snowfall. Michelin's are capable and quiet.

I just got Michelin Pilots, on the A5 in case I get caught in snowy conditions here in PA. The sidewalls on those 19" wheel will fail you in bad conditions. I will use my old 1997 A8 for really bad conditions, as it has a much higher sidewall tires and better for snow.
