Not only for the traction to move forward, but the braking performance is phenomenal. When it comes down to avoiding an accident or a pedestrian, it's that "little extra" they give in an unexpected situation.
Just wanted to share....this was on my way into work a couple weeks ago, hard to tell by the bad cell vid but the road is covered in ice, was freezing rain at the time. The vehicle in front of me way in the distance tried to stop at the last intersection, ended up sliding sideways all the way through, luckily it was a 4-way stop.
At about 22 MPH and after I stop, you can sorta hear the spinning of trying to get going again, it was very slick. The ability to stop somewhat quickly is what amazes me. I know it's a pain to swap winter tires so having an extra set of "steelies" makes it much easier and cheaper. If you live in a snow belt I can't recommend these tires enough.
