Grip increase is the most notable on ice.
First year I went with snow tires I had studded snow tires no sipping. Would slide coming to a stop if not careful about pumping brakes.
Second year I went stud-less with sipping, and the improvement to stopping was remarkable!
For those of you that don't know what the hell I'm on about... read about it Siping (rubber) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. |
Thanks!
The research I did in the brief period before your response shows very mixed thoughts on the benefits/drawbacks so a practical review helped.
I don't really notice any issues with my snows so think I will leave good enough alone for now.
