I recently moved from TX to Denver. The Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimetric tires did not handle well on the snow and ice.

It appears the tires are not all-season. I cannot tell from the tire.

Will I get better handling in the winter with a different tire, geared more as an AS tire?

The XC 90 handled a bit better with the "W" function enabled, but I am dissapointed the front-wheel drive did not handle better.

Any thoughts?

the All season tires will have a snow symbol on them and MS somewhere. it will handle better with them then the normal summer tires.

I live in Manitoba, Canada, all we put on here is all season tires. real winter tires are still better for winter, and summer tires for summer. its just a bit more money
