The ironic part of this is, I bought Wildpeaks in 2022. I live in PA, and I can't tell you how they do in the snow. Last year we had a total of about one inch that disappeared in a couple hours.

mud tires also have no sipes and tend to be very, very hard, and get moreso in the cold. Mud tires are absolutely scary in winter and I have gotten stuck on a slight incline with a dusting of snow, because someone thought mud tires were a good idea.

Chiming in on this-- just switched out the OEM tires on my wife's 2023 F-150 for snows. If I recall correctly, they were Pirelli Scorpions with a M+S marking on the sidewall. No sipes. Pretty sure they'd be absolutely miserable on ice.
It was also nice to go from the 20" wheels there was no way to avoid buying down to 18s.
Snow tires and some weight in the trunk (depending on the vehicle) will get you places 4WD and a bro-ditude won't.
The Falkens Wildpeak at3w have pretty good sniping and are fairly soft.
The Wildpeak AT Trails on the Touareg also have good sniping.
I'm curious to know how well they will perform now. That means it probably won't snow this year again.
