Snow Tires...

I don't really understand your question. Do you want to know how fast you can go around turns? Or how fast they drive? Or how well they handle? Snow tires reduce the handling of the car on pavement. On snow, I see no reason why they are unable to drive as fast as all season tires. In relation to tires... any people who have performance run flats, what type did you put on your car? Did you use the bridgestone potenzas? Later

Snow tires on a LTS, snow, as fast as you can and still have some reasonable safety factor. HTS (high traction surface) snow tire treads will overheat fairly quickly since they are not designed for "speed". Sustained high speeds or repetitive over-heating will eventually damage the tread's rubber compound permanently.
That's when the tread chunks start flying off....

u know there are speed rating for performance tires??... well i was wondering if there is speed rating for snow tires too... i don't want my snow tires to explode at 190kmh... or so
and my snow tires are some Nokia crap... i didn't know Nokia made snow tires too i thought they only make cell phones... anyways they really screwed up the dry pavement handling... i got them from a friend of mine and he had a Accord that had the same size tires... so i just took them
