I don't do offroading. But I can say this. Today here is very, very icy. The sun though is warm enough to melt a tiny layer of ice on top of the road. As a result, I cannot walk on it without skidding. I am wearing sneakers - not the best shoe for this kind of condition but still.

My X3 has standard all-season tires, and when I went through the exact same road with it, it never skidded. I could start and stop just like if the road were devoid of ice. I am sure that if I tried to push it, I'd be able to skid, but the point is that my X3 grips better than going on foot. And that, to me, means a lot.
