3PMSF tests outlined

I saw results (probably shina.ru, when it was lesser shame to read Russian web pages) that indicated existence of two ice environments. They called them:
Warm ice -5 0 C 20-32F
Cold ice -20 -15 C -10-0F

Studs worked great on the warm ice but chemistry of studless tires won on the cold one.

That makes sense, cold ice doesn't melt when you touch it, so it has some traction. Ice with a wet surface is slippery

I remember that. The test was done by the Russian automotive magazine ZaRulem around 2009. Another good source of winter tire testing data was the Russian magazine AutoReview. About 4-5 years ago, both magazines put their test data behind a paywall, leaving only Shina Guide as a source of free test info. Lately I've been avoiding the Shina Guide website because I don't want an infection of Russian malware.
