Does anyone else have comments on the Pirelli snow tire performance AND
tire wear relative to the Nokia Hakapalieta 10's, Michelin Alpins, etc.?
My roads are rural, ice & snow covered, some dry highway but slush seems to
be the biggest problem for my Q. The Pirelli 190s are the most readily
available but if the consensus is that I'm wasting my money, I'll look
further afield (about 60 miles further to the next tire dealer).

Just lookin for a few more opinions. Score: Yes-1  No-1
