I had a new set of 185/70/14 Yokohama tires siped last winter and they worked out very well. Now I'm on different tires that I'm considering having siped if they don't do well enough in the snow. Its funny people are questioning the usefulness of siping. Ever look at a Blizzak tire....notice those little bitty cuts in the tread block...those are sipes. Granted there IS some more involved in those sipes versus slashing across the entire wheel like shops do...but they both serve the same purpose. Last I checked Winter tires don't even get a UTQG for tread wear because they aren't made for mileage, they're made for traction. Now, if I take an all-season(aka...high mileage)tire and sipe it...thereby decreasing its life(assuming aggresive driving)...its really not much different than running 'true' winter tires.
