Let's see, in the past year: My girlfriend (now wife) lived kinda far away at the top of a twisty mountain road; these tires took a lot of abuse going to see her. I took a new job in GA that was a lot of freeway driving; tires are nice and smooth. And let's not forget the countless runs at Deal's Gap.
I still can't believe I put over 35,000 miles on in 13 months. That's triple the milage I got from my old Kumho Ecsta 711's. I'll probably order these again, very soon.
So, how were they in the snow?
Snow? I think you and I have different opinions on what qualifies as "snow". Down here, an inch or two shuts down the whole state. But they do ok in light snow. I'd go with a dedicated snow tire for what you'd get up in Chitown.

We really don't get that much snow up here....they are fairly good at cleaning roads.
