Heck, 

I've spun-out my 4KQ on fresh powder when running on D60-A2's (supposed
all seasons) when we were hit by a freak late season snow storm after I
had switched off of snows. I will admit, I was testing them to see what
All Seasons would do vs. snows. Went home afterwards (cautiously, but I
did finish shopping) and parked it until the roads were cleared later in
the day. 

There is NO comparison, though I'd take the all-seasons over summer
only's in slick, icy conditions ANY day.
