For my winter ride, I've mounted Pirelli 210 Snowsports in 205/55/HR16 on Kosei K-1 wheels (Thanks, Alex). To date, they have been terrific tires in the rain, slush and snow that is a typical Cincinnati winter. Plus they ride so much softer and quieter than the Pirelli Eufori@s I use in the other months that I thought I had the wrong car for a moment after install. True, they don't stick nearly as well in the dry, when pushed hard as do the performance tires, but in the nasty weather, they are excellent tires.

I've run a set of Winter 210s for about 3 years on my Integra GSR, and these tires are great. They're very comfortable in the dry with very little tread squirm, only when pushed too hard. Haven't chunked or anything. In the snow in Madison WI and Grand Rapids MI, the car has been very predictable and solid. Something it wasn't with the OEM Michelin XGT-4 all seasons. (Got stuck twice in 2 inches of white stuff. Pitiful.) I'd easy recommend them to anyone in light snow or heavy snow areas. I wouldn't have any reason to consider another tire.
