I just got back from my first snow experience here in MD with the Nittos... I thought they did a great job. As someone noted way back, turning felt a little more like sliding (weight and tire width I am sure), but had ZERO problems going forward anywhere I wanted to go. I'm from CO and driven in a lot of snow conditions all my life, and the VX is STILL the best on the snow. I am not sure why some just don't have good VX snow traction.
I will be in WI all next week, and always get some FORD pos that I have to try and get around the snow in. The VX does so much better, maybe I am just used to it now, but no complaints here. I was also able to easily back into my drive (slight incline) this snow, I was not able to do that with my stock tires before.
