what are you riding?
700 x 38 cyclocross tires both front and back
Back is worn except for tread on the sides
Front is new.
I have found that the back tire gets loaded with snow and slips more when their is tread present (on ice you slip no matter what).
I have also determined through trial and much error that tread on the front tire helps to reduce sideways slipping during turns
