Winter tires

I just put the winter tires on the Aero. (I actually bought them last year from the dealer but just decided to store the Saab in the garage and drive one of my other cars) Since the car is leased an is _way_ under mileage, I decided I will drive it this winter. Hence the snow tire swap.
Summary:
On dry pavement they are pretty horrible. They made the Aero feel like my van. Lateral accel response time went to shit. I could spin the tires on dry pavement in second gear at 40 mph.
On snow they are simply amazing. I have never had that much traction on snow in any vehicle I have ever driven.
