Generally speaking, a M/T tire on packed snow will be worse than an A/T style tire.

With big lugs and high void ratio there are less biting edges on the tread to get traction on packed/slick pavement. A/T's on the other hand have more lugs, less void ratio and therefor, more biting edges. Meaning better traction on packed snow or slick roads.

Even still, if your running into lots of deep white stuff, a M/T tire is better. The snow can clean out of the M/T easier so you can tear through the powder. Where as an A/T tire will clog up with snow and can become one big white slick.

That being said, I still run M/T's and if I end up on packed snow roads I make sure I'm in 4hi. Otherwise, the lack of traction makes the rear end want to pass the front with even light foot input. I just take it easy in 4HI and putt down the road.

As a Matter of fact I was one of the only people in my family driving around Denver after the Blizzard last year. Thank goodness I had the M/T's because 2-3 feet of snow brings the suck for getting anywhere.
