Without knowing the compound of the NT421Q, i would not call it a true all weather tire like the Nokian WRG series which uses a special low temp rubber and also has the mountain snowflake symbol to stated its rated for severe winter conditions. I think the NT421Q would handle snow better than...

My tires are Nitto NT421Q, installed April 22 at 34,000 km and I put on 13,000 km before changing over to my Blizzaks.

Nittos I put the 275 45R20 nittos you are talking about on my Limited in may and in August did a tour of the mountains of BC and to Vancouver island. I ran the tires in 38C temperatures, crazy rain at 120 kph, and speeds upto 150 kph. These tires handled the wet roads awesome, four runners...

I just wanted to add my experience to the information posted here in regards to winter tires, as it helped me. I used to have a 2011 Edge Sport with those really, really nice 22" rims, but in the winter I changed over to a set of winter tires. I traded into a 2013 Explorer Limited in June...
