Yokohama W Drive

Im looking to purchase a set of winter tires as I am picking up my 06 330i with sport package 18's on Wednesday. Because of the law that recently passed in Quebec making all cars have mandatory winter tires (anywhere with excessive snow should have this law) there is a shortage of winter tires in this region (Eastern Canada). The only tires that I can find right now are a set of Yoko W.Drives, but I am having a hard time getting reviews on this tire. Yokohama claims that this tire can be used as both a WINTER (approved with the snowflake symbol) and no loss of handling in the SUMMER due to a new type of compound.
Has anybody used these tires and had any experience with them??

I carry Yokohama but have NO experience with their winter W Drive. The most popular winter tire here is the Blizak and the Alpine. Let me know if you need some help with your tires.
