I had those tires and hated them in water and snow. My old Saab 900T slid all over the place. Ripped them off my car and threw on Goodyear GT4's. NEVER a problem after that! GT4's are no longer made, but I have used other Goodyear tires of at least an "H" rating with equal success. Now I always prefer Goodyears due to traction in water, even after driving my buddies cars with all kinds of expensive imported and domestic tires on Saab 900Tc's.
Now I am sure some of you might curse me and disagree with me, but I feel that in my experience with me driving one of my cars. I strongly feel that Pirelli's are poor in water and snow/ice, despite their claims and other driver's claims that they are awesome. I can only go by the feeling I get in the seat of my pants when I am in the driver's seat. The accident you had just re-affirms my feelings, although I was not there and even amazing tires will slip on ice.
Good Luck!
Hope the repairs are cheap.
