Actually, these tires haven't seen slush yet. Let me get back to you after the big storm predicted for tomorrow night!
So far, they've only seen fresh snow and the dry crusted salty streets days later. On fresh snow (1/4 - 1/2" deep) they did fine. I predict they'll do great in slush, based on the saw-toothy shape of the center ridge. The knobs on either side of the center line only barely touch the ground when going straight, but they dig in when you lean into turns.
