Would you recommend them, if someone drives 95% on road and 5% off road?

So far they aren't as grippy as winters in cold weather. Braking definitely took a hit.
In rain they are ok, they'll do just fine.

For 95/05 road/off I'd recommend winters. I'll be replacing them with winters if I can even find 275/45 20 110V winters (couldn't find many choices)

In summer, too? I mean they have more grip than summer tires, but they are not ideal for warm weather.

I am asking because I am planning a road trip next summer in Europe (Greece, Turkey). I will have a little bit offroad there.

Oh gotcha. I was only talking about winter.

In summer, or winter, I think summer, winter, or regular all season will have more road grip. Because more contact patch. (As opposed to the chunky contact patch that A/T has)

The A/T tires are obviously more grippy and better off-road.

Depending on how much off roading you are doing summers or all seasons should probably be ok.

Without any tunes, we can definitely hear the tires, but with tunes, it's barely noticeable.

That's a great look!

After a few cold and rainy NYC days with the AT3, we're happy with it. The road noise is barely noticeable, especially on local roads. On the limited NYC highways, it had a little extra "hum", but not bad. Our summer tires are the 21" RFT 275/315 tires.

Our x5 will spend the majority of its life within NYC and we wanted something we can use past winter until the temp actually warms up enough for the OEM summers.

For our ski/out-of-town Audi, we have dedicated snow tires (Michelin x-ice).

If our x5 was used for more than city driving during the winter, I would opt for proper winter tires.

On a side note, I have noticed that the all-electric range dropped to 30miles from 35/36-ish.
