StumpyPete is on a distinguished road
I run the 19in 211s with the standard Bridgestone Duelers RFTs in Snowy Scotland and they manage pretty well in the snow we get. Been out in a couple of inches today and they have been fine. Engage DTC to get a bit more wheelspin on starting and use manual to keep the gears high and it copes pretty well. If you keep DTC on you get a bit of slide.....but that's just fun, but you need to be happy with tail-happiness. You just need to be looking further ahead and anticipating the situation better. Admittedly I wasn't doing 70, but that would be crazy, given the braking distances in snow.
