Here is some more on my earlier post about the new Michlein Primacy Alpin. (See my earlier post.)
As my wife has a Forester that we use for skiing, I suscribe to a European Subaru forum as well as this one. (Sorry, its in German, but you can translate it if you wish.) This forum is almost all about mountain driving in the Alps and northern Europe. They just completed this survey where these tires came out on top. They beat out the Blizzak by quite a lot, and are the top selling studless snow tire in Europe right now.
