agreed. But a winter tire is still miles ahead of an all season over ice. As much as full car length stopping distance in the test below, with controlled cornering. And one car length is all the difference in the world. Most winter driving accidents would be avoided with that much leeway.
see the 2:09 mark below.

traditionally we only get half a dozen snow falls in this area, but icing we get all the time.
