Anyone Know Why The Michelin XPS Is Not Intended for Winter?

I currently have these on my trailer as it came with it when I bought it. The sidewalls are all cracked though so I need to replace them. I was going to go with a G rated tire but I looked at my wheel...

My guess is that "summer" rated tires have a harder tread compound and obviously do not have an aggressive enough tread to shed snow. Most likely applies to light truck usage.

If you tow in cold weather 90% of the time and they have held up fine for 10 years I would put them on again. I love mine.
