Default Anyone using Pirelli's Winter 270 Sottozero Series II?

Have used the previous generation Winter 240's on a 996 (4S) with pretty good luck. Before pulling the trigger for a set of Winter Sport 3D's, wasn't sure if there is any real world experience on these Pirelli's in the RS4 community. These appear to be new on Tirerack...no reviews/test/survey results posted yet...albeit somewhat costly in the fitment I'm interested in.

While looking for more detail @ the Pirelli site, I came across this video of their winter test program @ the Matterhorn (RS4 included).

Thanks in advance.<ul><li><a href="http://www.us.pirelli.com/web/car-suv-van/winter_collection/gallery/default.page">CLICKY</a></li></ul>

Default talk to Gary at Tire Rack - he may have test results to tell you - as he is very familar with the 3D

Default Pretty cool video, but...

...there are more shots of the cars in the air than actually driving on snow!

I was very impressed with my wintersport 3Ds last year, thus it would take a lot for me to switch.

Default Never been a big fan of Pirelli winters

My Snowsport 240s (used to be their top of the line prior to these) were subpar. Very happy with the Dunlop 3Ds so far, plus Pirelli's are way more expensive, so not bothered considering them.
