I don't know of anything that gets better traction on ice than snow.
First I think you mean how does it melt snow. Secondly sand doesn't even melt snow. Public transportation people place it on snow and ice so that viecles can gain traction on slippery roads.
Snow has many tiny air pockets, and air pockets are great insulators.
The salt will melt the snow and ice, but can really damage the roads. The Sand creates more traction and will not cause damage to the roads.
If by winter tires, mean studded tires than no it not recommended to use them when the roads are clear because they will tear up the roads and are unnecessary. The reason you use studded tires is for better traction in the snow and ice.
SNOW OR ICE
When there is ice or snow on the road
When there is ice or snow on the road
You will not have as much traction.
Better traction on dry pavement. not necessary unless your a performance nut. dont ever try to run them on snow/ice.
The wheels of the vehicle lost traction because of the ice and snow
Water, ice, snow, sand.
Sand isn't used for melting snow. Sand is used for traction.
Snow chains are metal chains wrapped around the front and rear tires and motor vehicles. They are used to provide extra traction in conditions such as thick snow and ice.
Crampons are attachments to outdoor footwear that feature metal parts to provide traction on snow and ice for more detail type 'ice crampons' into Google (your spelling was out!)
Studded tires have small metal studs protruding from the rubber, which provides more traction. Snow chains, which wrap around the surface of normal tires, work even better, though they are a hassel to put on.
Basically it is the same thing but shaved ice might be better it depends on where you get it from
