Big Zehn shipment from ?Australia to US arrived last week. Delivered FedEx to Discount Tire Naperville, IL last night at 5 pm. Excellent service. Out the door shortly after 6 and they were busy. This store services many of the Porsche Financial cars out of Lisle, IL. Reportedly they prefer 295 in back so that's what I ordered. Slick ice and slush last night. Grip less than Blizzaks on an Audi. This is likely more a function of tire width than AWD system. I really enjoy driving in the snow. In retrospect I should have sought a width and compound allowing more aggressive snow/ice driving. If you see lots of snow I'd consider 265 rear and a compound that might sacrifice some dry grip in favor of ice adhesion. These are early impressions based on fewer than 50 stops and 10 turns on ice/snow.

Yes. Per TireRack site:
Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II tires use a tread ...The tread blocks feature Pirelli's Interactive Brickwork Siping where the sipes create a brickwork pattern that increases both lateral and longitudinal stability while providing more biting edges to increase snow traction...
