Late reply, but my strategy is similar to paradocs98... On my CLS (991 parked during Chicago winter), I bought aftermarket 20" which I use in the spring/summer, and put Sottozeros on the factory wheels for winter use... So far, performance has been great in the winter months, and during the winter it still looks good on factory +1 wheels, rather than small winter spares...

I absolutely hate Sottozeros. Think they're mildly capable all seasons at best. Will never use them again. From now on only Michelins. Could not understand how anyone gave Sottozeros good reviews on Tirerack. They don't stop and they don't go in snow. They're only good on dry pavement. So disappointed.

I have the exact same setup on my Agate Gray car.
The tires do not handle as well as my old PZeros and I doubt that will perform better than the new Michelins but they allow me to drive below freezing. I have no idea how they work in snow as I will not drive my car on the same snow covered roads with my yahoo SUV neighbors.
Stopping, handling in wet conditions? No problems noticed here.

I have used the Sotto zero II for the last few winters. I think they did great in both snow and rain.
