So far I've only tackled an inch or so but there was a layer of ice below. I had a bit of wheel spin from a stop if I wasn't ginger with the throttle. Cornering and braking were absolutely solid though. Antilocks didn't even come on during an aggressive stop in the snow. The seatbelt just grabbed me! I think in a true snow layer without any ice below, these tires will be bulletproof. Driving with reasonable cautiousness, this is a very safe winter setup.

Go have some fun

That's good news! We need more folks giving winter tire feedback.
