Default Falken 452 in winter conditions

Anyone with experience in the snow with them?? Had them on since August, but really would like to know how they are in inclement weather. Any feedback would be appreciated, this way I can decide if I need to go back to winter tires for a few months

That's a summer tire.

It's going to be dangerous and worthless in the snow.

To drive in snow get snow tires.

That's great news

What tire would you recommend? I'd probably throw the factory rims on, but without tpms. I'd just have to deal with the warning light, yeah?

Didnt think you get that much snow down there to were you would need snow tires. I have a friend that live there and he say 1inch of snow and they cancel the school for the kids hahaha....But yeah summer in real snow weather wont cut it.

Very bad. I had them on my 350z. My car didn't even move with 1inch of snow. Just get bridgestone LM series performance snow tires.
