Up until this weekend my neck of the woods had only received some small snow storms, so I have not had a chance to try the snow traction on the Continental DWS tires. Then yesterday a storm rolled in and dumped 15" of fresh snow. So I was staying up at a ski house and broke out in the early morning before the plows came out in attempt to get the goods on slope. I knew heading out that one of the toughest parts was just going to be getting out of the driveway which has a 90 degree turn out of the parking area and straight up a steep hill. So with the car warmed up I charged at the hill not knowing what would happen. Without a bit of hesitation or massive wheelspin, the SHO clawed its way up and over the hill, even with my lowered front acting as a snow plow. I continued to drive off the mountain where the house was and over to the ski area with absolute confidence I was not going to get stuck or go off the road.
So bottom line is, just go out and get these tires if you want some killer all season snow tires.

I ran Hankook Ice bears on my old Mazda, I liked them enough I just kept them on all year round,  great in the snow, good in the summer ran them for 3 years before I had to replace them.

I used them on my grand prix GXP. They were really good snow tires. I didn't run them year round like you though I swapped them with RE760 bridgestones in the summer. Once the winter tires started to squeal under hard cornering as it warmed up I knew it was time for my summers lol.
