Default How are the stock Yoko Avid H4s in the snow? (and don't tell me they suck compared to winter tires)

I want a real opinion of how they are - at least are they safe / decent. Obviously they should be far above a high-performance summer tire ...

Default Safe/Decent- light to moderate snow is a good value.

Default Thanks. I still have them on the stock 15" wheels in my closet, and might go see snow this weekend.

Default How seriously bad are AVS ES100s in light snow (some snow left on plowed street, but none falling)

Default NOT designed to give you ANY snow traction or braking ability.

Default That's really what I thought. Thanks though for the retard-friendly answer!

Default I have used these tires on an AWD Eagle Talon. They are very bad in the snow!!!

The Goodyear Eagle GT+4's were a good tire for that car in the snow. I put on many thousands of miles in the snow with these tires with no problems. The Avid H4's slid around so bad I thought I had slicks on.
