Are the P7000 snow worthy as well?

I read in the other posts the P7000 are good in the wet... Any input about how they are in the snow? I live in MA so it's a major factor on the next tires I buy. I'm not sure if I trust the reviews on tirerack.com of the different tires. Any input?

If you live in MA then you should have winter tires. Don't be a danger to yourself and others.

You paid alot for your car, you are talking about expensive tires, do the right thing and get real winters.

Fair statement. But with all due respect, I have been driving for the last 12 years and have never used/needed strictly winter tires. Before that I had a rear wheel drive car that needed them, what RW-drive cars don't

I appreciate your concern

I loved my P7000's on a Ford Probe GT in the dry & wet, but they were scary in snow.

Check out the TireRack also and do a search on ALL the tires that will fit in your car.

Each tire has a description and people who have bought it give ratings on the tires as well on how it does on dry wet, snow, road noise, treadwear, handling, etc.
