if anyone thinks an all season is just an all season theyre definitely wrong. and, while a set of re92s might get you through some snow if you drive carefully, truth is, on ice or deep snow theyre gonna be just as bad as the next tire.

With all due respect, I think you are wrong. I drove the first season I had my car on the stockers, and while not great, I was able to drive through a heavy snowstorm with 6-9 inches of fresh on the roads. There are better tires, but the RE92's are loads better than summer tires. Respect the limits, carry chains, a shovel and some warm dry gear that is accessible and the RE92's are a perfectly capable tire for any weather in which the roads are open.
