Default Falken Azeni's in snow

Just drove in the Azenis this morning to my exam. About .5" of snow and ice. Couldn't get traction at like 1/3 throttle off a red light. Needless to say I drove like Grandma.

was scary

RT-615? not for the snow and probably not as good as the 215 for the rain since it has a very short tread depth.
