They were ok in the snow, I can't complain. The mileage penalty was over 1L/100km, so down from 29.7 mpg full trip average to 26.4 mpg.
My original plan was to use them for winter and off-roading and they were not aggressive enough for the kind of off-road we do. My summer tires were pretty worn, so I sold the all-terrains and bought a set of Vredestein Quatrac 5. Much better suited for pavement driving, much better on the rolling resistance.

They were General Grabber AT2. I really liked them but they were taking up space...growing pains while I got to learn what I want from the car. The airdam went on way before I had the AT2's

This is where I thought I could use the all-terrains...
