...that came on my aero (2k) were fun in the snow, up to an inch, and for about 100 feet until they pack up like racing slicks, so if your in a parking lot and want to do donuts and crap, they are fun, but after going sliding down a hill toward a creek with a 15 foot drop to the water, and barely managing to save the car by riding the curb down (needed to replace the right front rk2 (rim), i changed to hakka's immediately and now it does better in the snow than any car i've ever owned except for my '90 spg, which is better in deeper snow since the tires are not as wide. Go with Nokian's for the snow, stick with the pilots in the summer, they have the nice rub guard on the edge which helps to protect your rims to an extent, and have a very good balance of super high dry grip, and very good wet traction and from what i've seen, very little hydroplaning. Having the aero in the snow is really fun, enjoy.
