Michelin Pilot Sport All Season
Hi -
I tried the Pilot Sport All Season's and they work very well in snow. I wouldn't depend on driving every single day in heavy snow with them. However I was caught at least once in heavy snow and I was amazed at how well they worked.
In light snow you are definitely good with just the pilot sport all season tires. I had three or four fairly long drives in snow with these and the car was solid as a rock.
I was surprised and went into a parking lot to test how much force I needed to spin the car out. I was able to break it loose fairly easily but I was amazed at how fast it grabbed and regained control. Without doing the quick moves which you don't do in snow the tires worked perfectly.
