Has a test of nonstudded "snows" versus summer tires upon ice been published
to your knowledge?  That could be of concern in a place like Illinois where
tire studs are illegal under most circumstances.  It's nice to have the "snows"
for the real *snow* (more than a couple of inches) but why so horrible on plain
ice?

(Good summer question :-))
