I don't know about you but I drive my BMW in the snow very few days a season. In dry conditions UHPAS are FAR superior to snow tires... plus they are less expensive and have longer wear. Why would I bias my tire choice for <5% of how I use my car? That would be foolish.

This is true. Winter tires will perform good and thread wear will be within spec when it's dry and the temp is under 8c (46f).
