You Can Drift Nokians!! You just have to go alot faster. Snow tires are a must for the winter IMO they work better on cold dry and wet pavement then any all season. Sure you have to take it easy on them compared to summer tires on the dry but it is no problem to get 4-6 winters on a set. All seasons are a waste of money as they are very much a compromise not good in the cold and snow and not good in the dry summer.
