I haven't had the chance to test them yet in any rain/snow, and I haven't pushed them hard in the dry either. I would agree with your assessment above - slightly more road noise but also a bit more comfy. I am still fiddling with pressures. My service department sent it back at the stock 33/38 pressures, which felt very sloppy, and I did not like. I'm running 37/42 right now, but will probably continue to tweak a bit to get closer to the stock feel of the Conti's.
Curious to hear your snow experience.

I would not want to go down in snow performance from what the Scorpions provide, but definitely an advantage to not changing tires.
