Anyone know how well these tires handle in light to moderate snow? I have a set of these that I put on during the summer and am wondering whether I need to get snow tires. I live in upstate (Rochester) NY. Thanks.

according to tirerack survey, not too well. But I suspect in light snow it's ok, but in heavier snow, I wouldn't risk it.

They are all-season tires and should be fine in light snow.
I just got my, but I dunno when I'll be able to test them in snow. It seems like it's not gonna be snowing,here in Boston,in the near future.
