Freshly fallen snow is a disaster, ice is little better. You can use it in those cities where snowplows appear on the streets along with the first snowflakes. On the highway and in the suburbs is definitely dangerous. Car - Volvo XC 70 With its pros: silent for winter tires, they ride well on frozen asphalt and not bad on damp. Ideal in the "transitional" (0- +5) period Different cons: ALL other options for the state of the winter road surface do not accept :(
