Not on this model but my general view of all seasons is that they are great if you can’t be bothered to get a winter setup or if you only get light snow. Altho they are garbage on ice, some countries actually don’t even allow studded winter tyres namely Poland, Germany and maybe some others? They are also banned on certain streets of Stockholm here in Sweden which makes me think they should be safe at least. Studded makes more noice which sucks. So that’s the long answer sorry it got a bit of of hand Short answer:They suck don’t use them. At least where I live.

+1, separate summers and winters, every time, on all my cars - except my Coupe, 'cos it only comes out to play in summertime . Anything else is a compromise where I live/drive.
