Just siped a new set of mudders for the truck. She climbs mtn passes like a billy goat on crack now!

Yea, if we were talking about old school snow tires, you would be correct. Winter tires are a whole other game. They are very soft, have sipes, mini-sipes on the tread blocks, and all kinds of engineering magic involved in their design and construction. They not only do well in snow, but they are superior on ice, and outperform studded tires in testing.
