All season tires, on a RWD car, in more than 2" of snow and plenty of dry ice, under hands of only average driving ability are a bad winter mix.
And that's why I just drive the truck on bad winter days. Regardless of tire, that car is not a snow day car. Sure, it's still reliable but once you've driven a 4x4 on snow days, you realize how much safer and reliable it is if you find a gutter, have to swerve, go up any slight incline, drive down a hill, or anything other than flat and plowed.
