Default Verdict is in, Azenis worst tire ever for snow

Got 8 inches here, stupid snow plow piled up the snow next to my car. Tried to move it today. NOT an INCH. Tires just spin and spin, but they do make this cool R/C car noise though. Since im on a hill, i figured i would just let it roll backwards to where there was solid ground...damn thing wouldnt even roll downhill on a hill while at 4k in reverse. I know, i know, summer tires only But my other set of tires is back at home 300 miles away.


Azenis in 80 degree weather
Azenis in 25 degree weather:

People have said that they are bad in the rain, so I could see them being bad in snow as well.

Azenis are horrible in the snow. I found out the hard way. I got in snow storm when I was in Indiana over thanksgiving . The drive back home was not fun. However ebrake donuts in big parking lots are alot fun.

Isn't that kind of what you guys expected though? I know I dont even like driving them in the rain.

Maybe just some unexpected snow I guess. Throw some all-seasons or blizzaks on some steelies...save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

Dare I say that most tires are terrible on ice?

what did you expect? did you notice that it's a soft compond tire? did you notice the large tread blocks for dry traction? How in the hell could you expect for it to be good or somewhat driveable in snow?

And I haven't had a problem with them in the rain, in fact they suprisingly do quite well in wet weather.
