I drove for about a month in snow with my summer tires...

Just gotta know what you're doing... harder than heck to stay straight with them, if you don't know whats up...

I drove home from school one time, I was doing 40... cuz there was about 5 inches of snow on the ground, and here I come, putzin along with my 20s on it...

I felt like dying!

 

Wait frenchy what size rims do you have with ur UHPs...

and yeah that is overkill I use like 240 lbs. in my bed and I also have a 4X2...

 

Looks like 20's to me.

 

I haven't looked for sizes, ratings, etc but I had some Blizzaks on my Sentra that came in a 195/60/15. Stock size is 215/45/17. For a true snow tire you want narrow and taller to "cut" thru the snow. I have the steel rims on the truck and may get a decent set of alloys for summers and use the stocks for winter tires.

 

These look like they have plenty of traction. Yes, I know you can't judge traction by looks but still...

Those look like awsome snow/ice tires.
Here in Dallas, we get an ice storm avery 2-3 years and I have a much better way of handling it - CALL IN SICK or work from home.

 

Load rating isn't right nor is the size but you need something more like this...

If so, these are NOT winter tires. They would be a good choice for a single set of tires but the author is looking for Summer and Winter tires. These aren't either.
