Didn't have the chance to test the tyres on snow this winter ( January 2019) but on seems to be OK on winter temperatures. The tyres are very soft, so should be a good grip over the snow. Sometimes on cornering the ESP of the car was getting on, but you can easily adapt. You feel slight " sliding" effect, but it's because the tyre is very sift rubber. Using them for front tyres in summer even in UK is not a good deal. Now ( June) I have the winter tyres on the back and the same brand summer tyres on the front and the stability is very good. These tyres won't be very stable on wet roads with hight speed - 70+ mph and the braking isn't very good, but as I said they are made from very soft rubber and good for winter. Definitely suggest them instead of other budget brands for winter tyres!

I used these tyres until late march, before changing back to summer rubber. We had very little snow this year, but they performed well on the ice. Improving the braking distance and giving much better steering response. My main place of work involves driving across a grass paddock and down and up a short 1 in 3 mud slope, which these coped with without hesitation and I was able to climb it in the wet when a 4x4 pick up with off road tyres couldn't. They performed perfectly adequately in warmer dry and wet weather and I was tempted to leave them on for the whole year as my trips are all local country lanes.
