Can anyone corroborate that?
Yes you want as deep as you can get tread for winter (well where you get snow). A deeper tread will not as easliy pack snow in between the treads and will be ejected out on each revolution.
When you are down on tread (say 2/32nds) the snow packs into the tread causing you to slip and slide.
