I had my first "deep" (5") snow experience with these tires yesterday and I was impressed with how well they performed. They were consistent and predictable and I had no problems with slowing down unlike several other people I saw out yesterday. I've got ~15k miles on mine and they're not invincible but they definitely add confidence to the mix of AWD/TC.
I know a lot of people around here run summer tires and/or swap to winter tires but these are great all year round. I'm not going to say they're as great dry as the best ultra high performance summer tire because they aren't... but if you don't track your street car you won't notice the difference.
If you're in the market, have a bit of cash to burn and don't want to change your tires for 3 years, get these. I used to run the Pilot Sport A/S and I'd recommend the Pirellis over them.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
