Definitely would need snow tires because pretty sure M5's will all ship with performance summer tires.

To the other poster above......

I like this new strategy. AWD is great for faster sprints to 60 or 100. Also will help pull the car much FASTER around the track. Witness the 918's performance on track and know the AWD was instrumental to beat the P1 and LaFerrari all which had MORE horsepower and were lighter! AWD is a big benefit in all aspects. Don't let the small amount of weight fool you as that is a very worthwhile tradeoff unless you prefer to go slower
