Interesting, but I'd have to disagree. Just looking at the accident statistics, more people are finding the limits of their tires in the winter than in the summer. Driving down the road at the speed limit in the summer the only time most people would be finding a limit is during emergency braking. Do the same in the winter and you can easy be hitting limits when you're starting, turning, stopping normally, etc.

I think what he means is:
A $200 summer tire provides far superior traction to a $100 summer tire while a $200 winter tire traction provides somewhat superior traction to a $100 winter tire.
