What do you guys think of these tires?
I have a set of these on my car from the PO of it and are fairly brand new.
Snow is supposed to be coming shortly so I am kinda worried.
Do they get around good in snow?

They are a high performance all-season
the description doesn't mention snow.
They are sold only from firestone stores from what I can tell.

I'd guess they will be below average but it wont be like running summer tires.

You might give it a try.. and if they are terrible replace during the black friday tire sale and craigslist your old ones.

Sounds like a good idea.
They are great in rainy and dry weather but I was questioning the snow part.
I was thinking of replacing them with some Continental ProContact with EcoPlus technology or Generals. Something of better all-season tires.

Friday they are predicting 1-3" of snow so I will see.

Well they actually get around pretty good in the snow with the traction control off on my car.
I was quite surprised by them. We got a good 6 inches of snow on Friday- Northern IA got like more than a foot.
They are almost brand new so maybe that has something to do with the good traction.
I will just keep them on until they get worn good.
