It absolutely will, if it gets that far. The point is to increase
stability a little so hopefully it won't get that far. But this is very
much a "to each his own" question, and probably depends on the local mix
of deep snow versus ice, hills versus flat, etc. (I've been driving in
Wisconsin for 27 years and upstate New York before that -- and I still
hate driving in snow).
