We have yet to have any ice so far, but I'm kind of pumped wishing it would snow now-the school parking lot near me is going to be some fun practice. We moved here 3 years ago and this year is the first year of it being a daily driver, so it should be fun.

I put mine on in Nov here in NJ. No significant snow yet except for the freak squall in Oct.

The icebear tires are great. This is going to be my fourth season with them and the tread looks almost brand new. I usually keep them on for about 5 months each season. The tires handle decently for a snow tire in all conditions.

I'll throw up a review after the season and determine if I'll keep buying these or not. What really surprised me was that it doesn't have as much road noise as I anticipated. I just figured it would sound and feel like knobby tires, but have been impressed so far.
