I used the studdable Hankook iPikes last winter on my 951. Despite the car being a peg leg (no locking rear), i was impressed with how well it did. I still decided to take my 951 off winter duty because i simply do not trust other drivers out there. New they have very deep tread depth. I had one of those pucker moments on the expressway last year having to brake hard from about 75mph. As the weight shifted to the front, i could feel the front end shimmy ever so slightly from the tread blocks squirming.

Shameless plug, Im selling my iPikes with 7-slot wheels if your interested. They are not going to offer the same dry performance of a sport oriented winter tire however. I think they are T-rated also.
