Topic: car slipping despite installing snow tires

[Erik]

I agree about the heavy snow traction. Kinda disappointing there. On hard packed snow or ice, they are fabulous. Took my 300C from undrivable on the stock Conti all seasons, to ok on slick surfaces. Didn't have any trouble at all, even climbing grades, with the freezing rain last night.

Some winter tires are more optimized for snow and others for ice.

My Falken EPZ are pretty shitty when it's snowy and slushy. The narrow channels between the blocks just don't do enough for gripping in the white stuff. Turn in is hairy cause it'll under steer and slip when on snow. You have to slow way down.

However, on icy roads these tires are really good.

So maybe the same situation for your Toyo.
