I tried it once when I had to back my car out of the garage. I damn near didn't get the car back in. It would just spin and want to go sideways. That was in about an inch of packed snow.

I've done it a few times, but yes it's scary. Salt/slush is not bad, just go real slow and be careful, but packed snow/turning to ice can be a challenge. I made it up the little private road my work place is on that doesn't get plowed, and back out, last winter with 3 inches of fresh snow on the ground. I did have to get out and shovel once or twice, though .

I got caught one time by an early snow when I was living in Wisconsin. Went into the mall, came back out in an hour and it was snowing like mad. I drove with great care and found that handling on even ground was predictable (bad, but predictable), but forget trying to make it up even a small hill.

After that the Nittos came off every year on September 1st.
