That's the problem. Dedicated snow and ice tires have aggressive tread patterns and very flexy sidewalls which provide good snow traction but sacrifice in every other way. In normal cold wet/dry conditions, a sport winter tire or a very good all season tire, such as the Michelins with the Helio compound will actually be better.
