Anyone with Pilot Alpins think they are a rather squirly snow tire? I remember my Blizzak's feeling

When I make quick changes of direction with the ...
Blizzaks on my Avant it feels like I'm trying to turn a bathtub. All crispness has gone. This is on dry pavement, btw. Adding more air helped a little, but not much. Is this because of the soft compound, or is this just the way snow tires are? I'm not happy at all with the way they handle, and may go to all-seasons next year if I can't figure this out.

I have used both blizzaks and pilot alpins. The blizzaks were much looser than the michelins. I attributed it to the soft compound in the Blizzaks. Currently have Toyos and find them much like the blizzaks.
The michelins were by far the more stable tire in dry and wet conditions.

i have the pilot alpins (225.45.17); i can't really compare w/ any other winter tire
b/c i haven't used any other. in the dry, they're great. i arrived back from ski liberty sunday noon when the white stuff was pouring and felt confident the entire way home. at present i can pull in and out of my parking spot- i'm happy =)
