Default seconded. Ran em on my S4 last winter and they were great

and this summer I didnt do much driving so I left them on and they handled astonishing well in dry/hot conditions.

Wear is also above average

yes, but I'm afraid of the "plowing effect" with a wide tire - what do u think?

Default I got them that wide, and no worries so far...

...but than again, I don't drive the beast in 15" snow storms. I used them all last Winter over 3 major storms, and had no issues. The thread seems aggressive enough to take care of a good load of snow. I just can't give my beast a narrow size tire. I can't stand it. Narrow tire is good for snow rally racing, and that is not what I'm doing here.
Most of the time, the streets are salted and the snow is loose enough. Or I just wait for it to get plowed a little.
