With all the time and money they wasted, you'd think they had a government grant to figure this out.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you their findings:
"Conclusions
It's the tires, stupid! Well, something like that. Of all the tests and exercises we conducted during Traction 2006, vehicles with winter tires stopped one-to-two car lengths before vehicles with all-season tires, and they provided better grip in the corners. What this means in practice, is that if you are approaching a stopped vehicle and you need to slam on the brakes to avoid a collision, your chances of not rear-ending the vehicle in front are significantly increased if you're riding on winter tires.
In short, winter tires can reduce the distance required for you to stop on most icy/snowy surfaces. Of this we are certain."
They could have stayed home and written this 'revelation'.
I'm almost embarassed to live in the same country as these dweebs.
