The thing about tires as I understand it is that the harder the rubber is, the longer they wear, but they haven't got good grip on ice. The softer the rubber, the better traction, but you give up thread life. Since my wife's life is more important to me than thread life, I think that I'll continue using the Silent Armours.

Neither one of those tires are an ideal fit for icy road conditions. If it's safety that you're after, then you need a purpose built winter tire such as the Blizzak. All of my vehicles wear Blizzak's during the winter months.
