I live in Vermont and can tell you that for 'real' snow these tires are awful. I walked 3 miles home but a week ago during a storm because I couldn't get up the hill where I live which is amazing given that these are snow-rated. If you live down south or see few snows of more than a couple inches then these will do and will be much better than a general all-season tire. But if you're in a place with real heavy snows these tires leave a LOT to be desired. They handle well and are quiet otherwise but given they have a winter rating the only thing that really counts is their snow performance. I will say Mavis Tire was great - my gripe is with Nexen...

I only purchased two tires for the rear wheels of my Mustang. The car still drove well with two snows and two all-weather tires up front. The traction on light snow or wet surfaces was excellent. I did not do much driving in any deep snow. The noise level was excellent considering they were snow tires. These are great tires! Recommended!

My local Mavis didn't have the Cooper winter tires I wanted in stock so they recommended the Nexens. Last winter with my original tires I couldn't go anywhere in any amount of snow. This year with the Nexen tires I can be confident that I will safely get where ever I'm going no matter what Mother Nature throws at me. These tires are great for upstate New York!
