.....that is the question. Does it do any good to have your tires sniped
for additional traction (if you can find someone that does the service).

Sniping doesn't do a thing for tires unless your using EBay to buy them.

SIPING on the other hand can do wonders for some tires as it relates to
traction and snow. Also it depends on what your looking for out of the
tire. You can cut siping for water removal, traction, heat removal or
just for looks. Depends on what you want.
