Do you mean the Pirelli Scorpion Ice run-flat?

You could also run a 275/45 or 275/50 it will throw your speedo a few km/hr but not hurt your AWD..obviously the closer to stock the better.
Last year I ran continental DWS all seasons and they were awesome in the snow, I planned on running winters but we had an early snow storm and I had the DWS on and they did so good I kept them on. I will run them again this winter I was so impressed.

So the general feeling is the conti DWS? In a square (275)? or the stock staggered sizes?
