I think the weight of the vehicle is a factor though, I've heard complaints from fullsize truck guys they wear quickly, and my older (lighter) Jeep seemed to grip a little better with them than my new (heavier) Jeep. For a lot of ice (northern BC) I'd go for a dedicated winter tire though.
MT tires are absolutely useless in the snow and ice in my (limited) experience using them in it. The slightest incline with a bit of compact snow defeated full tread mud tires, while nearly toast snow tires climbed up the same thing no problem.

Studded Duratrac's are pretty good, a lot of the guys I know run them for winter. If I was going on logging roads a lot in the winter that's what I'd run.
I did mention I spent time as a volunteer firefighter up North - here's what we found in the ditch quite often when responding to MVI calls. Notice what Bro has on his truck here...
