How many miles are people getting on the P Zero tires? Mine have 13K and they are looking a little thin.

Fortunately I can't report how well they work in snow since I put them on last fall, and we had NO snow at all in NJ last winter (unlike the year before where we had a blizzard.)
They do work OK in dry and wet, but I prefer the ride of the Continental DWS's that I use for summer tires (and I may leave on year-round since the "S" is still showing on the tread..)

Michelin Latitude Sports on 21" rims. Just had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's installed on my wife's BMW X3 with 17" rims. VERY NICE tire and early reviews indicate they may be the best all-season tire on the market. If they are available when its time to replace my Latitudes I'm switching to the A/S 3.

Toyo Open Country AT 255/55-18. We regularly drive our Cayenne on unpaved roads, and the Toyos have been very good. They are wearing well, are smooth and quiet on the road, and have decent traction. They aren't the greatest in snow and ice, so I am mounting Nokian Hakka7's on 17 inch wheels this winter.

Heading into winter, if you are looking for the best tire for winter traction - go with the DWS. It's about the best you will do for actual winter grip without buying snow tires. Sidewalls have proven to be a bit soft. Parada Spec-X does OK also, but not to the level of the Conti in the snow. They are a good price point compromise between dry performance and all season capability. The Michelins will offer the best road comfort and wear of the group while still maintaining a decent level of all season ability. A very nice tire for steering response and turn in.

Too bad the DWS' don't come in 21" size.
I don't think there is a Perf. All Season tire in 21", at least I haven't found it yet.
I don't need full snows in Nashville but asking a Perf. Summer tire to work in our winter is a little much, at least to my thinking.
