Anyone had any experience with Continental ExtremeContact DWS?

I spent this past winter on a set of brand new Continental ExtremeContact DWS's, 275/40/20 and 315/35/20. I don't know how this vehicle does with actual snow tires in a smaller width, but with these things, it was nearly undriveable. It would accelerate decent, but braking or turning simply didn't happen. It was just dangerous. I can't blame it all on the tires, as I haven't tried a dedicated snow tire, or a skinnier all-season... maybe this vehicle is just terrible in the snow.

Previously, I had a 97 Explorer with a set of all seasons that was virtually unstoppable, and I still have my e30's which I usually run snow tires on, which are amazing in the snow (but they are small and light).


Other then the snow, I have no complaints about them. At this point I have about 20k miles on them, they are quiet, they have decent grip, great wet grip and hydroplaning resistance.
