Look at the article SAV posted - 55mph wet skidpad?? If anyone is taking corners at 55 MPH in heavy rain or snow your asking for trouble no matter what tires your running.

Because when you travel on the interstate, it's a perfectly straight line and you only do 40 mph, right?

BTW, great job comparing snow tires and non-snow tires in the article, and then making a judgment based on a comparison that nobody else was talking about. The fact of the matter is that you don't need to be going 55 mph for the rear end to break loose if your tires are bad enough. I was only doing 30 in my instance and the rear still snapped out on me.

Geez.
