[QUOTE="Ditchplains1, post: 1070263, member: 12347"] Ratpatator, Siping gives razor blade thin cuts in the tread. These thin cuts pack up with snow and the snow packed siping gives better traction...much like packing a snow ball yields a snowball that is adherent to itself. The snow in the sipes grips onto the snow on the ground giving better adhesion. Larger cuts in the tread prevents the snow from packing into the grooves and gives little help. Indeed it will allow the tire to clear itself of snow...exactly NOT want you are looking for.... The cuts in the tread you picture is NOT siping, rather cutting grooves in the tread. Siping removes no material. Eddie [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siping_(rubber[/url]) [/QUOTE]
