I don't have an SVT, but my SE Sport has seen quite a few different tires over the last 95,000 miles.

I started out with the Firestone Firehawks, and then went on to Michelin MXV4+ and those tires were great !
Very quite and EXCELLENT wet traction.
On a wet road you would swear you were riding on rails.
We never had a really bad winter for me to try them out on, so I can't comment on snow traction.

Now I'm riding on the Micheling Pilot XGT H4 (V4 for SVT), and these are much better than the MXV4+.
They sidewalls are a bit taller, so you would have to - size your tires one size,
but the reaction time and wet traction are just as good, and there is absolutely NO road noise.
This past winter, I had NO PROBLEMS in the few snowstorms we had.
I was able to pull right out of a parking space without too much shoveling.
