But do we need to consider any differences between what the tyre manufacturers call "winter tyres" and what they call "snow tyres"?
It seems that these Nankangs are excellent in the snow and ice but very poor in just wet and greasy conditions.
The difference is merely in they tread pattern. they are winter tyres plain and simple. Absolutely no issues with mine at all in the wet, dry, greasy, slush or the snow. Obviously when it comes to dry or wet, they will never compare to the grip of the summer tyres.
I can only comment on my experiences but they were very unstable, even in the dry at the above temperatures!
I wouldn't go that far, in fact cornering is actually very good. I guess a Celica GT4 is a very different beast to the Golf though. You do have to really boot it to lose any traction, and the ESP is quite sensitive on a Golf.
This is the first time ive used winter tyres other than Vredestein wintrac/snowtrac (widely regarded as the #1), and even then i used to change them over for my summers as soon as it warmed up as they dont have the ultimate grip in the wet/dry for when your booting it in a powerful car.
winter tyres are designed for working when its cold and or snowing etc. If your driving fast your obviously being stupid imo
