Genee -

Like they say - AWD ain't worth nothin' when it comes to stoppin'
Glad no one was hurt and there was no damage. But you are right - tires will make a HUGE difference. I still haven't had my Nero's in the white stuff, but I have done some good tests on wet, smooth asphalt. From 40 I had no ABS on hard braking. At 45-0, just a hint of it just in the last couple feet. At 50-0 Just a bit in the last car lenght.

For alternatives I can speak very highly of the Nokian brand. I run studded Hakka-1's on the snow TSD rallies I do up in B.C. and they are awesome. The Hakka's have a reputation as the "only" option. Blizzaks are great on ice, but not good all-around. The Hakka's also stop amazingly well too. This may not help you decide, as these are pretty agreesive snow tires, but damn - take a look at the Nokian website and check out their innovations. When it comes to adverse weather, they know what they are doing!

I'm not sure if it's just me or not, but I found the P-Zero Nero M&S tires follow every groove and line in the roads and freeways of Southern California making it hard to drive. They have less than 1000 miles on them, so hopefully they will get better. Hope this helps.

^^^This is definitely true. Mine tramlined really bad. It was worst on the newly paved concrete roads with the grooves still in it.

re: tramlining - the only variable you have is tire pressure - what PSI are you at?

Same deal here - I've been running 33 and 30 psi and I have 4k miles on mine now, I just thought it was because I jumped up to a 225 instead of the stock size...

I heard that tramlining is a major problem with the tires, especially from people in SoCal.

Not a problem for me. I was laughing while driving through 6 inches of snow all weekend.
