I had new Pirelli PZero M+S tires on my 9-5 Aero wagon last year and took it to Vermont in December. Now these are pretty rough conditions up there -- the car was all right on flat roads and turns but had a lot of difficulty getting up hills. Twice I had to turn around coming uphill and find an alternate route. Had to turn off traction control in order to get all the way up when all was said and done as it was kicking in far too much. The Pirellis are also wearing rather quickly.
By contrast, I put P205/55VR-16 Continental ContiExtremeContact on my '99 9-3 and it's like having snow tires on it. I've barreled up hills, pulled out of ridiculously plowed in parking spots -- and they are great on dry roads as well, taking turns that leave you with that strange feeling in your stomach without complaint.
One caveat -- they are quite ugly.
