Anyone Driven Snow Compounds this time of the year

I put my snows on a couple weeks ago, one of my all seasons had a nail and I decided to call it quits. My snows are from 2019 and they appear to still be soft-ish, but by age alone, getting towards done. I'm sure in this hot weather they will wear faster, but I wasn't that impressed with them in the snow, so "using them up" is on my mind.

Just a bit louder, haven't noticed much, but I also have been driving slower lately.
 
Only Nexen Winguard Sport one time.... just wanted to completely wear out the tires before getting replaced with Nokian WR G3 before the next winter season

Nokian R5's on a Subaru AWD system. Thing is unstoppable lol. Deep snow test at 1:29.

Doesn't apply to this thread, unless this time of year applies solely to the southern hemisphere. This thread is about running winter tires during spring/summer/fall, when it's not freezing cold and snowing.

This does not mean anything. Any, and I mean ANY snow tire can do this.
No one dies from not being able to move forward in the snow or because they move more slowly than others.
They die because they cannot stop or because handling is bad. In winter, most drivers will drive in wet conditions more than in snowy conditions. So you have to have good wet handling and braking, but also good ice and snow braking and handling. The problem is, the compound used to emphasize wet braking works against performance on ice, and the other way around, if you emphasize ice, you lose wet performance.
This video does not have any value for someone who wants to buy tires.
Because we actually don't know what tires this guy has:

I know I’ve driven in many Northeastern snow storms and spent several years in central NY state. I know what snow and snow tires are. Snow tires can really make a difference. Subaru AWD is still good for the money.
