I would rather drive my awd Subaru in the snow than my C7. Safer with less worry.

Me too!
I was on the fence between the PA4s and the A/S3s and boy am I glad I went with the PA4s. Other drivers were not kidding when they said they were passing trucks and semis on the highway.
Today was a mixture of ice, sleet, and snow. All three were present in some form or another. This car with these tires performed amazing. It very seldomly got upset. Very little wiggle in the rear when crossing intersection filled with all kinds of crap. There was practically no plowing or salting. My neighborhood easily had 6 inches of snow and the car drove like it was on dry pavement.
Everyone talks about getting a cheap beater for the winter. Well I saw a lot of them, mostly trying to get uphill, sitting on the side of the road, or spun around in a guardrail. Even SUVs, pickups and semis were struggling, sitting in ditches or stuck. This car did not bat an eye. Amazing combination.

You did not mention that you have a Z51. Different tire sizes. You may be able to get a set of Blizzaks that work for you. Your best bet is to call and they can give you the next closest sizes that work.
