My old MK6 GTI on Michelin Pilot A/S3s was pretty hairy in the snow on any inclined surfaces, and the Pirelli P-Zero Nero All-Seasons I had before those were even worse, bordering on undriveable. Tread width and type of all-season factors into this. A lot of the "performance" all-seasons behave like summers in the snow, but aren't as hateful below 50F.

Run-of-the-mill touring all-seasons on skinnier tires, like I had on my cars without sporting pretension were way easier to control in the snow, but if you have the budget for snow tires, why risk it?
