2012 Volkswagen Cc Tires

I drove these last year for my vw cc. I live in the snow belt of western NY. For a pirelli, im dissatisfied. It did great on dry and snow packed roads. But for ice and slush, forget about it. Floated right over slush every time, dangerously. Did not get any better traction on ice than all seasons either. After one season the tread was half gone. On hard packed snow areas its great, but not on ice or slush and the name has ice right in it so I expected otherwise. I will limp through this winter with them as I paid $175 each and want to get my moneys worth out, but cheap $100 Chinese snow tires do far better. You are only paying for a name.
