This is borne out by most peoples opinion and almost any literature you can find on the topic. A mud tire may outperform the stockers on deep soft snow, but it will definitely need to be siped for ice. As a ski patrolman in Southern California, I have had countless opportunities to use these tires on ice including verglas (black ice). Short of studding your tires, you will be hard pressed to find a better performer.

Exactly why I have chosen the Dick Cepeks Mud & Snow tires, wider, deeper lugs with tier pattern and factory siped for icey conditions. Check out my post here: Dick Cepeks
