They do provide superior snow/ice traction but when tire life is cut in half it just isn't worth it to me. That being said most people don't drive on dirt roads often but felt it is worth mentioning.

I knew you had said MTs in the original post but it never clicked with me. I was just envisioning taking a tire that was manufactured with siping and adding more. You are referring to adding siping to the bug solid slick lugs on a mud grip tire. Now I see why you would want to do it and why it would be advantagious.
