What kind of snow driving R you doing? Are you going to be ripping on it and racing? Or offroad snow driving? Just normal on road driving? The nitto 420 has good dry weather hook up! It actually hooks really good for what it is. It handles really good, in straight lines and around corners. It has a decent wet weather traction, but if you have Alot of mods then you probably will never really get good traction in wet weather. And In the snow it's going to hard to find a non all terrain tire that will work really good in snow/ ice. 420 is an all around good tire! I've had good times with them! Need a new set, since my cam and tranny I seem to spin alot lol! I also forgot to mention I work at discount tire
