Both Winter and Summer tires are designed for grip. Summer tires are soft for the heat and winter tires are hard for the cold.

So we have the same feeling : summer tires are more predictable and much safer.
When I said that drift is "easier" with winter tires, I was talking about the fact that it's much easier to make them lose traction. I said this to explain why the M5 so often loses grip. With the Michelin PSS in 285/35ZR20, sure it will still drift as much as you want, but not in every curve at 2000rpm as now and probably not if you don't provoke it.
