Avoid X Ice Snow. Compound cooked- presumably a few 10C days last april. 7,000 miles, 9/32, car went sideways in our first Ottawa winter storm. OK, TC VSA worked etc. Tested today, -1C, SKID SKID SKID. Called micheling, refudning me to go outside the brand. They are aware their fancy new treadwear compound has bewen accruing feedback as mine- hardens too much.

I understand that use at increased temperatures will reduce the overall life of any winter tire as the rubber becomes soft, but this sounds like using once at a higher temperature can immediately ruin a tire. Is "cooking a compound" really a thing?

The overall life of winter tire in high temp is reduced because of excessive wear due to softer nature of winter tire. Driving in 10-20 C shouldn't ruin a tire to the extent that it loses its winter traction.
