Snows on the corners and she handled brilliantly - this in 12 inches of snow & slosh last w/end in up-state NY/Vt. Passed a couple of Bimmers and a fool in a Vette during my travels, all having slid off the road. Almost time to put the new PS2's on, after having had the Dunlops - can't wait to see and (not) hear the difference.

I haven't had a chance to try my PS2s in snow, and I know it's not recommended, but...
...I was amazed at how well they performed in Michigan before I left, with temps in the mid-20s. Granted, roads were dry, but I detected somewhere between zero and very little loss of traction.
So -- what was your experience while driving in the snow shown?

I love snow driving, and the PS2's made it a little exciting at times.
I spend alot of miles going 70+/- mph on untreated white snowy roads from my recent roadtrip from New Jersey to Washington, and the RS6 was rock solid. Drive like on egshells and it did just fine.
The only scary time was middle of the night in Wyoming with 50' or less visibility with super icy snowy roads, blizzard like conditions, temps were in the teens. I was only comfortable going 30-40mph. Frequent brake checks revealed near zero traction. This is where snow tires would have come in handy, but the PS2's got the job done and got me home safely.
