How are these tires in snow conditions up to 1-2 feet? Anyone

Can't really answer to the snow conditions since we are in Texas during the winter but my husband loves these tires and stands behind them. He retired from Ford after 40 years as a Service Technician.

1) It's not a winter tire, tread compound is too hard in cold weather to be optimal.2) It's still better than the average passenger car tire in snow.3) Studded snow tires work best in wintery conditions but shouldn't be used on clean pavement and are illegal in some areas. The alternative in that situation is tires with deep, far spaced lugs on the outer rows similar to mud tires but those do even worse on ice.Generally speaking, counter to some people's intuition, a narrower tire inflated a little less works better in snow by digging deeper with a longer fore-aft footprint.Bottom line - you may be able to drive in 1-2ft snow with these on a AWD or 4WD vehicle but they are far from optimal for doing so. 1) It's not a winter tire, tread compound is too hard in cold weather to be optimal.2) It's still better than the average passenger car tire in snow.3) Studded snow tires work best in wintery conditions but shouldn't be used on clean pavement and are illegal in some areas.

Was caught out driving when snow began to fall pretty steady, in Alabama, yeah haha... had to pull in the first parking I came to and park it. No matter how much I babied the throttle it would just spin and hardly move. Tire grip is terrible in snow as well on wet pavement. Although durability is great. Never a flat or pressure problem.

We've had these tires for years on ligher trucks and there great. Bought them for our one ton and haven't had snow yet. I swear by these tires.

I would have to say yes. These tires seem quite sturdy and I'm impressed with their performance in the dry and in light rain. Haven't ridden in more severe weather. Still have some mold mark showing and now have 875 miles on the front tire - back tire is awaiting install once original front tire, since swapped to rear, wears out.

I put them on a 2003 escalade ESV a couple times and had good luck with them. Great traction, lasted about 40,000 miles after that 1 of the 4 would start separating. They didn't have another snowy winter left in the tread anyways

Don't know if this will be helpful? I run your tire in front and Marathon plus in back. Your tire I keep at 90lb in summer and winter at 75 for a little better control in snow. Really like both tires as I use them can't complain at all. Wear is good, traction in hard turns on concrete is real good. I had some problems with your tire with flats on the back of my recumbent so I went to the Marathon plus and have had better luck with that and still had the same good overall performance in the other area. I would recommend this tire, I ride 3000 to 3500 miles a year. Hope this helps.

These tires certainly fit nicely on your first THREE requirements (primarily road, fast rolling, and strong :-) , but the tires do lack any meaningful tread pattern as they were not designed for off road or turf conditions. That said, as long as the dirt is packed down and dry, I have been able to occasionally hit the dirt, but of course don't push these in corners because lack of knobs.cheers, Joe T

I have used tbese tires last years snow removal. They are awesoe great traction. However li m e any tire weight is the key. Tires are great in every seaso. This is my first season wowing grass with them and there awesoe.

I've been riding mine for about a month with the tires at about 90-95psi with no problems. I saw the comments about blow outs and kept it a little lower for safety's sake.

Thus far they are far superior to the Dunlops that came on my Honda Fit. The Dunlops were constantly loosing pressure each time the temps dropped. I have yet to drive them through any significant snow however they have had great traction on wet and slushy roads. I'll report back when it winter finally sets in, in Denver. :)

Those tires are good for all seasons. I bought my tires one year ago and those are the same. No wearing out. And i know a friend that he bougth his tires 3 years and still the same. I use those with a truck that has snow plow. My tires are for pasanger vehicle and star with the letter p 265.if u have a truvk i will recond to buy tires for truck or LT.

I think the wheels are fine. You can't wait until 6 inches of snow has piled up. If you get out there with it after 2 or 3 you can move the snow very easily.

Living in the great north west, I can say they're awesome. Drive through rain all winter long with no issues and trucked through snow with ease. As long as you respect the element, these tires will keep you happy and safe.

They should be good for snow and ice with the aggressive tread design but I'm in Az and haven't taken them in snow yet.

I have no idea about what ply the tires are, but they handle mud, snow and ice fine. I have had no problems with these tires.

The tires are as thin as road tires, but they have off-road profile. It actually is 40c, but it's not he rugged thick wheel you might be thinking of.

I have used on all kinds of icy snowy conditions, and they seem pretty good, but as a seasoned veteran of northern NH winters told me when I showed him these tires, "There's nothin' gonna save you if you hit sheer ice." And I found that out this winter. So, moderate layers of snow, thin layers of packed snow, crusty snow, and thin breakable ice, they are great! Hard thick slick ice -- stay off it, particularly slick bumpy ice!

They are pretty much all season. If you live in the south. We had major snow in NC this year and they did fine. But, keep in mind these are not snow tires. They do ok in the rain , but these things are a mud tire that can be street driven.
