I have always used All-season tires (so 30 years snow experinece, NEVER with snow tires).
SO I thought it would be the same with this car.
I drove out of my neighborhood one day in the snow and about 1 degree above freezing.
I did brake checks and steering checks before pulling out onto a freeway.
Then SPUN the car completely into oncoming traffic on the freeway. 
It was partially the fault of the TC/VSC system, but the zero grip from the tires was the initial cause.
Never again - The Primacy HPs turn into polished granite below about 35 degrees...
I now have Hankook Winters and I can drive circles around some 4WD cars out there. |
I'm not saying its a good idea to. I'm just saying they aren't the worst tires I've ever driven on in the snow and they are manageable.
When I was a teenager into my early 20's I drove through about 3-4 winters on bfgoodrich g-force kdw 2's with my SRT-4. Now that is what you call ice skating lol. Driving through winter on summer tires is never a good idea.
I now use my SRT when it snows with a set of 15" wheels and 205 Firestone winter forces and I can through anything.
