i have em on my 17's and they rock. They have EXCEPTIONAL grip in the wet/dry here in sea town, and i had in the snow last christmas and they still worked great. I can't stress enough how good these tires are. it's practically impossible to slide my car in the wet, they're like super glue. Great value too, only 103 bucks a tires from tirerack. they sound like just what you want

just cuz your car slip and slipped on solid ice doesn't mean it failed
i had mine over in eastern washington, and it handled everything from wet slush to 6 inches of compact snow without incident. That day you tried to go out was baaaad.

Michelin Pilot A/S, you don't need to sacrifice performance...
goes well in the snow, quiet and runs just like a performance tire.
Expensive, but worth every penny IMO.
Tirerack calls them the gold standard of A/S tires.
