The OP has been driving in Cleveland, Ohio for 19 years in a wide variety of cars and SUVs. For those unfamiliar, we have among the harshest winters in the US. We can't beat Wisconsin, Minnesota or upper New England, but I've done a lot of driving in ice, deep snow and everything in between. This is the first set of real snow tires I've ever had and with them the car went from being scary dangerous to perhaps the most capable vehicle ive ever driven in the snow. It spins a bit sometimes but it always moves and the cornering and stopping are borderline unbelievable. The turn in and lack of understeer are almost spooky good.
I've got the R2s.
Would an all wheel drive car with more weight and with the same tires be even better? Probably. But at my experience level with these tires no weather prevents me from getting wherever I want whenever I want.
