I would say that's true regardless of which type of tire a person is looking for... "performance", "mud & snow", etc. Just because the manufacturer claims the tire has a particular characteristic, does not mean it compares well to others in its class. Nor does it mean it meets all the specs you might want. Even the same tire in different sizes, or spec'd for a certain car, can have different behaviors. It is complex, so buyer beware, YMMV, etc.
