There are a few types of tires for winter driving. Here is what I've gathered for winter selection:
1) Studded snow tires- good for deep snow and icy situations
2) non-studded snow tires- good for deep snow and ok on ice
3) performance winter tires- good for cold temps and light snow
Problem with studded snows is traction on dry pavement, most highly lack in that department. The same can be said for just plain snows depending on the design.
Performance winter tires grip the road more, still not the best on dry pavement.
Choose the best for your own situation as true snow tires don't make sense for everyone and performance winters don't cut it for some.
