I've powered thru 18" of unplowed snow without so much as a tire-spin with the Regatta tires. In each of my four vehicles.
Most in my part of Iowa slap on studded snow tires after the first snow fall -- I have no need to do that. I do dump two 60 lbs. tubes of sand in the trunk of my 240D. I was really surprised how they handled on glare (as in really bad, complete with several work comps claims at work from folks who fell) ice. The Regattas pretty much laughed at the ice and went in the intended direction. Best recommendation I can give them -- four years of use in multiple vehicles (mix of FWD & RWD). You can read all of the online reviews you want, but I've experienced these tires first hand. If you live where it snows (or rains), you can't go wrong. If Kleb ends up with my Quantum, it comes delivered with Regatta 2 on each axle. I think that is about $400 purchased/mounted/balanced. 2000 miles ago. D.
