Yeah, they're cheap. That's what makes them great. You can get a lot of performance for your dollar. They are ranked #11 of a ton of tires in that class on tirerack.

Well, no Z rated tire is designed to be driven in snow, in fact it can be pretty dangerous if you try and do it.
But like you said, good overall high performance tire.
