Driving in the snow (when permitted!)

For those of you that can, what’s the M240 like when driving in snow & icy conditions? Anyone doing this on standard 255/19 - 245/19 tyres?

While the cold season has been mild so far, and winter only just really starting, I will be on the stock square set up of 225/40 front and rear with ASRF CintuRato P7s.

Will update as the season progresses.

I'm sticking with the stock ZTK setup for the NJ winter season. One of my buddies ran these tires year round without issue. Not ideal obviously, but I don't feel like buying another set of wheels and tires for a few months of cold weather. I plan to drive in eco pro when snow/ice are present.

No issues with ice and snow. Running square setup 4 x 245/40/18 for consistent super grip front and back with Michelin X-Ice.
Last snow storm it was gripping like it was dry and quick driving speeds without issues.
