Himalayas are the furthest from a performance winter tire as you can get. I had my traction control light come on during a 4-5 shift...

If you hate the feeling you can go for a more performance oriented winter tire (Continental Winter Contact, Pirelli Sottozero etc) and you maintain a lot more dry handling at the sacrifice of a bit of the winter capabilities.
