Driving from DC to Rochester. On-ramp to I-81 in Harrisburg, PA was REAL icy at one point. Even at less than 15 mph, the Hakka RSi's slid a bit towards the Jersey Barrier. The Yoko's I took of the day before would have sent me straight into the barrier, I'm sure. Wouldn't have been a bad crash or even a trip ender, but several grand in body work I bet. Later that morning, the Corning to I-390 passage was very snowy and I am very thankful for having the snows on.
Like others said, much less dry cornering but they save your arse when you need it. Another benefit is the 10% increase in gas mileage over the fat summer tires. Computer showed average 33-34 mpg versus my typical 30 or so.
