Any kind of slippery road they're good for. They have a much softer rubber that grabs the road, and deep siping -- hundreds of narrow grooves that really make it grip. The downside is that because they're softer rubber, they don't wear as well, so you won't get 60,000 miles out of them. We don't drive enough for that to make a big difference, and the safer P is the better I feel. But if you only drive when the roads are bare, no, you wouldn't have any use for them. I don't know whether they're better in deep snow than all-season tires, but I'm betting they would be no worse and maybe better. But I really don't know. All I know is that before we got them P was scared driving to school many times, and now she almost never is (except for fog, which tires can't do a thing about.)
