Trouble is, on wet or even dry (but slightly sandy/salty) roads I can't keep them from spinning even with around half throttle (traction control takes over quite often). Not sure if it is the tires or the torque as I only had the stock conti pros on for a few days when I bought the car and there was no snow (and thus no salt/sand).

Hmmm, that's too bad. My experience with them has been quite good in terms of smoothness and traction on wet and damp cold roads. My only gripe when I first got them was they didn't seem to track as straight as my OEM RFTs. Now I guess I have just got used to them. I have trouble breaking loose even when I nail it. My OEM RFTs all-seasons were slippery when damp out or cold.
