Barely snow, and definitely not ice. I see you're in Calgary
bmbob, so you know better, but just to make sure nobody misunderstands:
All-seasons are not meant for all seasons. It is bad and dangerous marketing. Regions with
real winter relegate an all-season tire to 3 seasons at best. There are a few proper all-
weather tires, but the point remains: you make compromises.
The only reason I'd buy an all-weather (like a Nokian WRG) is because the PNW does not have a real winter. Still, my solution for years is running a dedicated set of summer tires and a dedicated set of winters, different wheels for easy swaps.
I don't understand why anyone would do anything else on a G80/82 if they have to contend with temperatures below 7C with snow. I also don't understand why anyone would drive anything with over 300HP AWD or not without having the right tires for the car and the seasons.
