Even on snow and ice they grip like there's no tomorrow.
I have these on a 545, and I've made the traction light come on in the dry. Yes you can break grip with 330 ft-lbs of torque. Having said that, they have excellent grip in the corners, ride smooth, and are quiet. Can't imagine riding on 275/35-18's in the winter, so I run Michelin X-ice tires in the snow and ice.

In 'Bama the DWS's will be fine year 'round.
