The cars used were different (e46 vs e90 3-series), but the numbers are still valid for comparison.

Nevermind you pull those comparisons for 2 different vehicles that are weight differently and have different size rotors and pads.
Well guess what? Those tests were done in perfectly warm climate!
Summer & A/S tires freeze when the temperature gets cold. The rubber compound get hard & stiff and you'll loose significant amount of traction.
Snow tires are designed to work in freezing temperature, therefore will work at advertised at its optimal temp. range.

I guess people like us have learned our lesson, I agree with what you said 100%.
And today I learned people actually put all-season tires on their Porsche. What's next, take your Porsche to Midas to do brake service to take advantage of their
lifetime guarantee so you'll never have to pay for brake pads again??
