>> Our RWD Merc on full winters was fine, I could feel that the surface was like glass, but the tyres were finding at least some grip, and we were able to get up the hill that even some 4x4s on (presumably) summer tyres couldn't.
You'll find on fresh and compacted snow they are laughably better than summer tyres.
The compromise is summer grip (dry and wet) isn't as good at the limits, and handling won't be as sharp as the tread blocks deflect a bit more.
I never found Michelin winter tyres wore any faster than summer despite the conventional wisdom of winter tyres being made of cheese.
