The same tire that I found on most pictures of european t25 vans (vanagons)
at the time I bought mine, Vredestein.
Using them for 2 years now on the pair on the front and a year on the pair
on the rear.  Reason for the difference is I lost one pair to road hazard.
As with all commercial grade tires, all weather is just not done.  However
for the minimal amount of lasting snow here in denver they do just fine for
year around for me.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
