I just don't think that's true. I bought my Revos in Portland, OR during the wet season (September-May) and I couldn't believe how much better my traction was instantly. I couldn't break the rear end loose on a wet street, much less by accident. When we moved to Idaho we went Christmas tree shopping in the mountains on treacherous snow-covered roads, and I pulled out several 4x4 rigs using open diffs and the Revos. Everyone, including myself, was shocked when I pulled out full-sized chevy's and even a T-100. All the credit went to the tires. If I had to choose any AT tire for only snow and wet conditions, it would be the Revos. I know it's not the only good winter/rain tire, but I have seen it work wonders. Plus, they're quiet and mine wore like iron (although some have had different experience with wear).
