hahahaha any daily driver tire is going to better than a drag radial! D.R.'s are made to hook on dry pavment,not any sort on wet or slick anything. my buddie got caught in a rain storm with his nitto's D.R.'s and he was carefull and he almost lost it on the highway a couple of time doing well below the speed limit.get some very tread filled tires with syphoning to drive in the snow,and be very very very carefull.
