This was the exact reason that I siped my Winterforce tires last year. they had 4 seasons of heavy use on them and had finally made it down to the minimum 5/32" required for siping them.
They were noticeably losing their grip in snowy situations before siping. After siping they were gripping like new again until the last of the tread depth disappeared.
All in all a $50 investment for two 155/80/R13 Winterforce tires and 5 seasons of great use out of them was well worth it. The siping was $10 per tire and well worth it since the price of the Winterforce tires went up since the initial purchase.
As far as siping an all season tire...I do have a set that I could try it on and get results back, seeing as that particular set has poor wet traction.
