I was getting at several points:
1) some snow tires give very good reviews for snow and ice traction - namely the Blizzak - so good that some ice race series use it as a spec tire, without studs. The Blizzak specifically, and other tires as well, have dual compounds - the top layer is ultra grippy and quick wearing; the lower layer is typically an all season compound.
2) The ultra grippy ice compound is likened to Formula One wet weather tires - drive them on dry pavement and they are toast very quickly.
3) If I don't drive on snow all the time, why would I want a snow tire?
