They don't have a typical snow tire's open tread pattern. Look at a picture of them and you'll see that the tread pattern does not appear aggressive at all.

My Viggen with the Alpins will run circles around my 9-5 with the stock Michelin all-season tires. TCS and the "winter" transmission mode are no substitute for good snow tires.
