P7 Update:
As our daughter was traveling home to Rochester, from Central PA) on Wednesday evening(~8 pm) before this Thanksgiving Holiday, there was lots of snowfall and unplowed roads in PA. For those who know, Rt 15 was closed/closing!
Once she reached NY State, the roads were salted and plowed and the remainder of her trip was uneventful except for the night driving.
She called often to keep us updated on her progress which usually take 3.5-4 hours for this trip and it took her 5 hours to travel the same distance.
She commented ~ 3 X on how good the Pirelli P7 Cinturato All Season PLUS were doing on the unplowed roads and feeling similar to her AltiMAX Arctic(that I was going to install on Thxgivng am).
These P7 tires have 7000 miles on them and were purchased in May '14 replacing the Hankook Optimo H727's. The P7s have been very smooth/quiet even if a bit harsh over road imperfections in her size(205-55-16). PSI seems to be a factor in this little Mazda3(117K miles)
This was the first snow fall that she had experienced with these P7's and also commented on the very decent ice traction in the hilly Penn State area. Again, the P7's are still brand new but, she never felt white knuckled during this trip home!

Yes, I did install her AltiMAX Arctic's on Thanksgiving morning so she could travel back to PA this Saturday(yesterday). Very little to report on the Arctic's. We bought the Arctic's for the hilly/icey area that she lives/travels in. More ice than snow!
