Pirelli Winter 210 Performance shoes?
Anybody had experience with these? The parts car came with Design 90 rims wearing these tires, almost brand new at that. So far I've just cut a few corners around the neighborhood but they seem to stick pretty well. It might be that extra inch of width in the back that I was experienceing but I could not get it to break loose on a corner where I normally could. I can't comment on ride noise, kinda hard to hear tires over the combination of metallica and V8 VROOM!

Years ago when I lived near Lake Tahoe, I had a set of Pirelli Winter 190's on the shark. Drove through some nasty storms around Donner Summit. Car handled very well in the snow, never had to chain up, never got stuck. Very good tire for winter conditions. Of course, not much snow in Atlanta area for you...

True, we get smow about once every 4 years, and then usually only a couple inches. Still, I'm quite happy with the tires. Took the car out in the rain this morning and they performed quite nicely on wet pavement.

If you want to experience some really good tires in the rain.... try some Bridgestone S-03's. I just flat hauled the freight thru the hills of PA today enroute to Detroit from Virginia in a steady, medium rain. I was cruising a steady 80ish and my 78 beast was just glued to the road. I was putting up more water out the back than some of the truckers it seemed. Truely awesome tire.
