Those who have never ran snow/winter tires have no idea what they're missing.
When you do, you'll never run all-seasons again.

I haven't gotten stuck in anything with these. And I if you were to set up cones on snow, I'd be able to slalom through them at a good speed.
They look great. I always have regrets when i choose tires lol There is so much. Hope i did a good choice with my Toyo G02 plus cuz yours seems really great.

Did a lot of research (Tire Rack .com is the most informative) and these Continentals always scored either #1 or #2 for overall performance in comparison tests. Blizzaks are the other top rated, but more expensive.

Here are a couple of demonstration videos comparing winter rubber with all seasons.

This is why Europe requires by law to install winter tires. They know the huge difference it is. Something the general American public hasn't seemed to pick up on (northern half).

I don't believe that government should create such a law in America but if everyone did install snows, winter driving would be 10X better for everyone. No more crawling at 20mph on the highway, 100s of thousands of accidents would be avoided, and the relief from white knuckle driving is invaluable. Trust me!
