Martin, that would be a very wise choice. The Conti's will do better than the Mich Pilot's, but neither will do you much good with any significant snow. Park it, and get the subaru out there. Besides, do you really trust all your fellow drivers in snowy conditions? I know I don't here in the DC area, with so many of them who come from areas of the globe with no experience with snow...it's a nightmare.
