I think I just passed 6k miles and I purchased it on November 4th, 2005. It's been through snow, rain, and dry so I've tested it all. I must say that the Pirelli's have very good traction in all three conditions, I'm very pleased with them. I remember driving through Virginia, and they were having an ice storm (I live in NJ, but yeah.) All was fine, I was taking the Interstate at anywhere from 40-60 mph while cars in the lane beside me were going 20-30mph. The car occassionally lost some traction, but with the traction control and letting off the gas a bit you were fine. I was really surprised too, because I thought I would have to crawl through this stuff!

Mine is also a daily driver. I live in Ohio, so I see all the weather. The stock Pirellis do pretty well in the snow.
I Just slapped on a set of 19 x9 in rims with 255/45 up front and 285/40 on the rear and keeping the same brand and style tire as stock because of the snow here.[:-]
