When my car was less than 6 months old, I drove in snow back and forth to work many times during the winter on my stock BFG's. I never had a problem. They actually handled quite well. I even used them in light snow a year later. Again, no problem. That's just me though. Either way, they're not designed for it, so if they're old tires or you're thinking about getting them, I'd try to get some all-seasons instead.

When the KDW are new, they will suffice in a pinch, but be cool... head for the right hand lane, easy does it, when the slush arrives. Back end may feel a bit light too, it may come around. NO ZOOMIN' !!

The KDW's are barely safe in the winter. The only reason they make barely is they stop remarkably well. Starting and turning are another story.
Normal cautious driving and no sudden movements and you will be fine. Oh yeah; DON'T stop facing up on any hills.

I thought the g-Force T/A® KDWS was all season? "Sets the all-season benchmark for ultra-high performance tires. With remarkable wet/snow traction, excellent dry traction, long treadlife, and a smooth, quiet ride -- even at speed."

KDWS is all season.
KDW (note the lack of S) is not.
