As far as the Aero is concerned, the only quasi-solution is to get skinnier/higher profile snow tires and put them on 16" rims. That should soften up the ride somewhat, whilst also resolving any ice/snow slippage. I say "should" because I've not yet tried it. As winter is (hopefully) winding down here, in Boston, I'm waiting until September to outlay the money for it. When I purchased the car I had also tried the Linear and Arc flavors (both on 16" rims). I hadn't noticed them to be all that much softer in the ride department. But I admit, that wasn't of dire concern at the time and that would have been only one aspect I was paying attention to, amongst many. - tex
