BFG KDW In Cold/Snow?
 
I am looking for anyone who has used the KDW in cold weather and in light snow. If you don't have any experience, don't comment please. I know they are not snow tires, but I feel as though I can get by, but I have no experience with high performance tires, let alone summer tires in snow.

Utterly useless and probably one of the most terrifying experiences in my life.

How much snow are talking here? I was in probably 2-3" of the stuff and it was just bad.

Sucks BIGTIME. They are like driving on hockey pucks. They start to lose grip sub 40*.

Just light snow 1" or less, but mainly just the cold. So they get real hard eh?

Yes. Cold+rain and they get slippery in the corners. They are Summer High Performance tires.

Also they are loud. They tend to run a little bigger than other tires that are the same size. I found the sidewalls soft. They look great and the wear fairly well. Warm weather they are great in the rain.

What everyone else has said. They'll go horribly.

What is snow? Is that the white stuff that falls from the sky on TV Christmas shows?

For those of us in Ohio, its part of winter along with temps as low as 0ºF. Comes around the end of november then stays sometimes all the way into mid April. I was only considering them because the tread design looked like it could handle light snow fairly well. Thanks for all your input. So anyone want to recommend an all season that is more performance oriented?
