In my limited testing so far they work great in the wet stuff... hoping we get some more snow soon so I can give them a test in deeper stuff.

I heard the best winter tire for our cars is the pirelli sottozero's. I have my z parked in the car for the season now but if i were to run it all winter long those are the tires i would use.

I have the Sottozero Serie II on my wife's Focus ST. I also ran the Serie II on my S2000. They are good tires for sure. Good on dry/wet pavement and good in the snow. I do think the Alpin PA4s outperform them in the dry, but I can't really compare them in the snow yet as I've only had the PA4s out in about 1-2" of snow/slush so far.

The new Sottozero 3 is out now. They completely changed the tread pattern vs. the Serie I and Serie II to more of what Dunlop uses with the Wintersport line (I had Wintersport M3s on my 5.0.) I haven't seen much in the way of reviews on them though as they are still very new.
