I've had the Nero's for a year now and they are great! They don't look as good as the summer tires, but I was able to make it through some light snow and ice this past winter in NC. They are still now snow tires, but they have terrific grip. I've got close to 21k on them now and they look pretty good. I'll try and get another 3-5k out of them. Plus they are much cheaper than the pilots. If you go on tirerack.com, the neros the highest rated in it's class. I recommend the tires. Good luck.
