Take note of the part that say "how winter tyres work"
Interesting


And I have the information here to finally trump you sir, your info is not wrong although very basic and describes as I pointed out the difference a tread pattern makes.

however my correct information is clearly displayed here (point 2)http://www.which.co.uk/cars/driving/.../winter-tyres/

'''Winter tyres are also designed to gather a snowy 'in-fill' in the tread grooves and in the sipe slits, to help with grip on loose snow. Think about how you create a snowman by rolling a snowball, bigger and bigger, and hopefully it will help you understand that snow clings to snow, so a covering of snow on the tyre actually aids grip''''



For snow/ice grip the science is in the sipes! Ner nerny ner ner!
