It looks like the Michelin Alpin's aren't available for my car, so I'm off to get some Pirelli Sottozero 3s.

Very comprehensive test, sorry if already posted.
This would be central European tyre test.

When I see patches of snow or slush, I slow down to a reasonable speed.

What is reasonable speed? Hogging traffic?


Let me put this in ski terms.

Since you are a pro skiier. When you see a slower person in front in a "green slow zone", do you crash into that person and blame your skis? Or do you slow down to a reasonable speed and pass that person?

Hogging traffic isn't a reasonable speed

I pass the person. For you to understand, I go thru slush and pass person. If we are talking about 50mph that means we are talking about rural road or interstate, not school zone.
By the way, slow skier in the middle of the slope is more dangerous then skier maintaining black slope "speed," to put it this way.
