They were known for suction cup devices to use on fiberglass boats. Drilling holes in fiberglass boats can be problematic. BTW, all the cup holders we ever bought always seemed to be a bust, falling off after they got old. If this were my rack Id keep a close eye on the suction cup condition.

Hi, Im the original poster.
I have two other Bentleys that I swap out the Pirellis summers for Pirelli winter sottozeros. I have done this in the past with 2 s63s I owned and I absolutely hate changing tires all the time.
I have the all seasons and they work great in the summer for performance and pretty good in the winter. I have driven them through 5+ inches of snow/ice and as long as you stay within a reasonable speed limit, the car will not fail you on turns, stops, or inclines.
Mind you, I also have a cayenne with high profile all seasons that I will drive when snow is consistently falling and I have an after work or weekend engagement. If it snows during week, I just need to get my car home. Im not out doing long distance snow driving, If I was, I would prob get dedicated winters.
But it was nice not spending an extra 3 K for the 21 inch winter Pirellis.

I have a 2010 PTT and it has nearly new (more than break-in period of 200 mi but less than 400 miles) and I took it up Yosemite in the snow. They required chains but I was let through. I felt unsafe as the car was sliding here and there going 5-10mph and I didn't want to take any chances. I turned back around. Very uncomfortable driving in the snow (granted it was my first time).
I have 265/35ZR-21 PIRELLI P ZERO NERO GT XL in the front and 305/30ZR-21 PIRELLI P ZERO NERO GT XL in the back which are all season tires.
Was I being too cautious or nervous? It didn't handle as well as I thought it would.

Snow tires allow you to slide your way up the the hill, summer tires would have resulted you having to call a tow truck to tow you down the hill - that is the difference.
