I think that's right and it makes sense. I'm riding the Tioga Red Phoenix (soft compound) right now and they are the stickiest 'ice tires' I've ridden, so far.
That's a good thing to hear about, I'm so excited about my studded tires I kind of forget that for a lot of winter riding, you don't need them. I don't want any one to not ride in winter, just because they don't want to spend money on studded tires.
