I looked at the link that I posted, under "methodology". It's also a survey (!) of "tire vendors non affiliated with any brand". Sadly, this seems worthless to me too.
ConsumerReports.org is a richer organization, and they can afford to run real scientific tests. I just subscribed minutes ago (for $26/year!). They say the "Nokian WR G2" is the best "performance winter tire". The Pirelli and the Dunlop score exactly equally in everything that concerns me, but the Dunlop gets a slightly better "noise" rating.

Thanks for the link, ordered 240 Pirelli's from him, size 235/50/R18 , he says there's no difference really between the 235 and 245 sizes as both will fit my bmw stock rims. Either way, he gave a good price and seemed very nice on the phone. All over Montreal they are started to run out of winter tires, so for those on the fence I suggest to start pulling the trigger.
