Re: P 210 winter?

["Albert Ng" <alng@purdue.edu>]

I am about to order a set of snow tires, too. But I still don't know whether
I should get Guardex 600 or Pirelli's snow tires.  I kinda confused by the
Pirelli snow tire models list on Tire Rack's website. There is one called
Pirelli Winter 210P/190P Ice and the other one called Pirelli Winter Ice
Asimmetrico/Direzionale. Though, Tire Rack say the Winter Ice Direzionale is
the only Pirelli snow tire that fit my 5kcst.

Does anyone have experience with Pirelli's Winter Ice Direzionale snow
tires? Anyhow, I think the Guardex 600 is pretty attractive in term of price
: )
