And the basis for your statement (on products you have not used) is what?

I agree that summer tires don't work in the cold. Example, Michelin's MXV
would not go in the snow.

Real snow tires are best in snow and ice, especially for the first 10,000
miles or so of tread life.

But Goodyear and Michelin now have long wearing all season tires that seem
to do it all. I had good experience with the Hydroedge tires last winter in
upstate NY. They were at least as good as my now 4/32 Michelin snow tires.
Not all season tires are worth their salt on snow and ice.

Yeah, my summer tires are shot so I will be buying a new set come
spring. I am lookng at the Hydroedge. Where I live we have -30 and
colder temps in the winter. So a soft compound tire make a huge
difference.

To tell you the truth, I love the Hydroedge tire, but intend to stick new
snows on the van for the winter because perhaps once or twice this winter I
expect they will make a big difference. It can get very rough here in the
north country of NYS.

For sure, better on the road than in the ditch.
