Sorry for the crap pic. This is the first time I've really gotten to try out the STaSIS 4:1 diff in snow and wanted to share my results since there were many that were curious about that.

Since last winter I've added a bit more power but am running a skinnier snow tire instead of all seasons. Overall I would say it's better in snow this winter than last. With the greater bias it actually seems more predicatble when I DO break it loose... and that pretty much has to be on purpose. This wasn't the deepest snow I went through by a long shot, and I'm on a pretty good grade in the photo. Got back in and off it zoomed like nothing was amiss!

Wish I had a real camera on me.

Default pretty good. I have inner edge camber wear up front

I noticed inside edge camber wear up front but the outside edge isn't much better. I'm actually surprised how good they look considering the treadwear rating. I might actually get another summer out of them. What sticky tire do you recommend to get after these wear out?
