'''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! |
Lol
So we're both right then touché my good man
