I run the Wintrac, (17" wheel set) superb tyre, excellent snow capacity on all types of snow surfaces, particularly impressive on ice/black ice.

My only observation, is the water dispersion, due to the fact we have a lot of deep standing water, particulary when a thaw sets in and we have frozen verges. For me that is the weakness, tendency to aqua-plane more than my summer tyres. But I'm sure most winter tyres will be the same.
