I've done a lot of research on the tires, supposedly the WS-60s is a hybrid of its predecessors LM-60 and WS-50. I was told that the WS-60s first 2-300 miles you'll slide around, but after the tires wear out a bit they have great grip. The WS-60s have a better snow/ice traction compared to the LM-60s but not as great as the LM-60s in dry road, but i remember it was minimal, something like LM-60 at 8.6 and WS-60 at 8.4
It's my first season using snow tires, had a set of Yokohama YK520 on my AMG and it plowed thru light snow.
One downfall to snow tires is that they are not as great in dry roads and are quite noisy! But after all, they ARE snow tires. So Glad I got a floor jack and an air compressor, so I can swap wheels whenever!
