I have A-23 and in NJ. Over 2 years now deep snow/light snow/packed snow/slush and icy conditions here and there: I have had no issues with tires or grip. 1st. time encountered extreme slippage was 2-3 days back but its attributed to a freak event of nature and not me but tons of cars - suffered. Especially now that I have 5/32 depth remaining I feel Toyo A23 is definitely a good tire but with low trend life and a bit noisy. In terms of handling, wet / snow traction however its very decent in comparison to other all season tires.
Apparently, you have not experience a lot of other better all season tires out there.

The thing to watch - front tires locked up ; guess why?
Haha. We blame all the California transplants up here.

This gave me serious shivers. What if water broke. Thank God you and your better half got out okay. The bad part is if the what if had happened: will the others move? Or still stay put? I guess we will never know.The best part is the white truck around 1:07. He gets most of the way up and seems to have enough momentum to make it, but then inexplicably stops.
I got stuck in something like that a few years ago, late at night, with a worried wife who was 8.5 months pregnant. We made it 3/4 of the way up the hill, dodging sliding and stuck vehicles, but we were blocked near the top, stuck behind cars who refused to try descending the other side because everyone before them who tried it had crashed. The road surface had frozen slick just before the snow started and it was like an ice rink. We were stuck there not moving for ~2 hours, couldn't go up or down, because nobody would budge for fear of crashing. I got frustrated and started asking some of the other drivers "what are you going to do, just sit in your car idling all night and hope it thaws in the morning?" Eventually, a couple of cops walked up the hill and forced the people to move down/out of the way so they could get a salt truck through.

Must be all the transplants (drunk)

It's all those folks on the Front Range who don't use snow tires cause they hardly ever need them. The Caddy made it up just fine. Tires are the key. But if you don't have snows mounted, and it's icy, try to stay off the road please.
You would NEVER see this on the Western Slope. Almost everybody there runs good winter tires.
......and not a peep from the OP.
Well, this thread quickly filled up with snarky, condescending, and accusatory replies and very few helpful ones. If I was the OP, I wouldn't stick around either.
I think somebody needs to check some of these IP addresses and see what’s going on. Another discontent Canadian that has joined to complain about a car that is generally praised for its abilities in poor weather. A big emphasis on DANGEROUS, hmmm.
Or there is something broken or malfunctioning with OP's car.
I didn't think having two posters from Montreal was particularly suspicious. It's a big city with lots of Mazda CX-5s driving around it. Besides, if the OP was trying to spam the forum with fake problems using multiple accounts, they could have done a lot better job of it.
