Yup, siping a set of mudders will do wonders for traction on icy roads

That was my concern. I really didn't want to have to run two different tire sets, winter and summer.


What about off-road, do you think the siping improves performance or not really an issue?

If you play hard on the rocks, the siping will cause your lugs to chip and chunk a bit more but otherwise, siping theoretically acts like fingernails and should actually help you in some cases on the trail.
