Actually, the problem happens more often using no seasons in the snow. ;-)

Default They are great....I just checked the pressure that they put them at

They were filled to like 32psi....I jacked them to 38psi....They feel even better.

Default they are decent in snow but are no match against snow tires. they don't last . . .

especially when driven hard. But i'm on my 3rd set. This set had about 40K on them, wasted.

and new snow tires, you should drive a quattro car w/these, unbelievable.
