Firehawk SH30 ... good in snow???

I'm thinking of going with these based on the very little I've found using the SEARCH function, and the specs at www.tirerack.com:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/firestone/fs_sh30.jsp
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.j...=Firehawk+SH30 (460 treadwear!!)

Anyone use these in the snow and care to comment? I don't auto-x or push the car *too* hard, but I like my spirited driving. Dunlop SP5000s came with the car when I got it used, but only lasted about 20k and I need more than that.

I'm in Pittsburgh and need good all-weather tires I can afford.

Thanks for your help, everyone.

Yes, they are very good in the snow. I could go from a dead stop on a 20% grade in fresh snow w/o slipping. I am very happy with them, just keep them inflated. The sidewalls aren't really stiff, especially without air pressure. Dry grip is good and wet grip is decent, but I spin easily taking off in rain.
