Does anyone have these winter tires? How do they perform in winter? Do much do they improve handling when on dry pavement?

They're awesome tires man. I haven't tried any other winter tires, but I would only use these after using them once. I drove my stang nearly every day last winter in Michigan with them and they did wonders. Just keep on the traction control, put some sand bags in your trunk and drive carefully. Surprisingly, the tires handle pretty good on dry pavement they even hook somewhat decent.

yes only use them for winter as they will most likely not be as good as summer performance tires.

also i would recomend getting a small and narrower wheel as they will help you get more grip in snow/slush

Ya I defanitely wouldn't want them for a summer tire. Just a suggestion...I would find some crappy v6 rims or something for your winter rims, I found some 98 gt rims and they actually look good on my car. It's worth it to buy the rims, especially if you have chrome rims.
