Dang ...... I'm glad you made it up "the hill".

For general information:

"While Pilot Super Sport tires are designed to allow sports cars, sporty coupes, performance sedans and supercars to achieve their full potential in dry and wet conditions, like all summer tires they are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice".

But you knew that ..... it just got reinforced....

Yep, I swear, summer preformance tires can be stopped on a road with a 1% grade and 1/4" of snow.....
