Last year I put Pirelli P210 'snows' on my Coupe Q, and WOW!!
These things are decent in the snow, sticky in the rain, and handle great on
dry roads. Plus, they're about as quiet as my Dunlop D60A2 'summer' tires.

If I thought they'd last long enough, I'd probably leave 'em on my car year
around.

My two cents for free (and worth every penny),
