The Pilot Sport A/S 3 on the BRZ is absolutely useless even with less than half a centimeter of snow on the ground. I only drive it now on wet snow if I really have to. Nothing beats bombing down the 407 (one of the most boring hwys in Ontario) in heavy snow on the fast lane with Latitude X-Ice and full time AWD.
I'm not sure I'll ever get another winter tire, other than my X-Ice 3's. my only complaint is that the sidewalls are mega soft. But, such is life with winter tires.
