I bought mine back in September and I find they're a little sketchy compared to the DWS06 they replaced... but I couldn't take the weak DWS sidewalls anymore after replacing 2 blown tires... lol

they've been fine for 3 winters until the sloped backalley turns into ice rink (trying to back in without shoveling the short driveway)
for the next set i'm ineterested in the crossclimate+ but apparently after a year or two they just become like any a/s tires

Maybe it's the width of my tires. They're 245 front, 275 rear so they don't dig in like it should. At least the car is like 4500 pounds, the weight gives it decent traction... lol

Had to help push a guy that had snow tires. Only problem was his snow tires which he think has enough tread is actually at zero percent. He didnt know snow tires have their own wear category.

No man, it's a feeble glimpse to what we'll have in about 3 months before the inevitable apocalyptic shitshow that tonight/tomorrow morning will be.

It was more around 112-116ave. I just thought to myself, if my wifes SUV FWD with snow tires is having the slightest bit of difficulty, everyone RWD or all seasons would be fucked.

At my old apartment, I'd be at work today as it's only about 50m to plowed/salted roads.
New house, immediate 18 degree slope with 15" of snow on top of compacted snow/ice and then another several km down unplowed undulating roads before getting to the highway; nope, not going to happen.
