Winter driving for me is mostly about wet and dry roads with sub-freezing temperatures during morning and evening commutes. They lay down so much salt around here that ice doesn't stand much of a chance. During true snow/ice conditions, I'll leave the 135is in the garage and take another car.
As a result, I'm looking for better wet/dry performance during sub-freezing temps, rather than pure ice/snow performance. I had settled on the Michelin X-Ice Xi3, but wet/dry braking is by Consumer Reports as Poor, and handling as only Fair. I am now leaning towards the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4.
