Mine and the family's experience with the Dunlop D60A2 tires in the snow 
is that once the tires get some wear on them they are horrible in the 
snow. I wonder if it's the aging of the tire and temperature drop that 
causes them to slide so badly on snow. They're not bad in the rain.

My own 2 cents.
