A few years ago, they did a comparison test on four winter tires...a couple of the big name brands like Michelin or Blizzak. The other two were cheap, entry level brands including Arctic Claw....I remember reading one test, ice/winter braking from either 60 or 80 km/h to 0....unstudded Arctic Claw was like 22-24 feet longer than the big name brands. I still bought a set of Arctic Claws for my aging truck at the time...Arctics were still much better than all seasons. I had them studded too. On the same truck, the Arctics were much better in all winter conditions than the mountain-snowflaked BFG AT T/A KO.
