I have found them to be very good in the rain and ice as well.

Sure, they won't corner like a summer tire, but compared to an all-season when the snow falls you will be driving past all those vehicles you mentioned.

Ugh I wonder why I get dragged into pointless arguments on forums. I guess it's my fault LOL.


This is the tire that comes on the SRT8 JEEP (unless you get the upgraded wheels) they are definitely an all season tire not a winter tire.



Of course summer tires don't work beyond damp conditions, but I live in an extreme climate area. (-25 to -35 lows in the winter and 90+ in the summer) I don't use all season tires and I never will. They are half ass at best for most everyday conditions. I run dedicated snow/ice tires for winter and summer only tire when it thaws. I also don't drive my sports cars unless it's spring or summertime LOL.

But I can assure you my RS5, Golf R, and ML definitely drive by just about anybody on the road in snow and ice when they have their winter tires/wheels installed.
