Quite the contrary, Alex.... these tyres work beautifully in the deepest snow. I've used them in past and have been the only vehicle moving, with hundreds strung out behind me riding in my tracks, literally all the way down the 404 from Newmarket to Toronto... I was literally cutting a path through two feet of virgin snowfall (I had ten-foot rooster tails from all four wheel wells). The footprint is the thing; narrow tyres just dig down until you're bellied in, and then you're screwed.
