That’s like saying all season tires are good for any season. When in reality all season tires are NO season tires (says the guy rocking Cooper Turbo’s all winter because he didnt feel like buying snow tires this year ;)). There are certainly better snow tires than others. I’d put money I wouldnt have had an issue on our street that one night if I had my studded Nokian’s from last year. Same with my jeep when I went through 3ft of snow last year in mud, in a back yard to drop an engine into a barn in Albany. I know for a fact certain snow tires couldnt handle that type of abuse. It all comes down to personal preference, driving style, and how much you want to spend.
Yes, Nokian’s are that good.
