Infopro and DG@WA,
I thought you guys might be interested to know that I have a 2011 SS with the Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow tires in the stock sizes (245/45-20 front and 275/40-20 rear) on a 2nd set of stock wheels. I just put them on last weekend so I haven't put very many miles on them yet. The weather here has been relatively warm and dry for these tires, (mid sixties for daytime highs) but so far they have been fine with no problems with handling or traction, either driving in town or on the highway. Definitely no scary moments. There really doesn't seem to be any signifiant difference in the feel and handling of the car under "normal" driving conditions. I'm sure they will not compare to the PZeros under "spirited" driving conditions in warm weather, but that's not the point of these tires.
Also, if you're like me, the look of your car is very important. I found the Scorpions look less like "snow tires" than the Blizzaks. To me, the Scorpions in the stock sizes look nearly identical to originals which is the look I prefer. The stock sizes might not have as good of traction in snow as the narrower tires, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little to keep the look I like.
Anyway, I hope this helps and best of luck!
