I see alot of overlap in the testing numbers between the two types of tires.
You can't compare the two sets of data. Testing was done with two different test vehicles, two different tire sizes, and very likely under different outdoor test conditions.
I assume it's the same test track, and warmer for the all seasons than the ice tires. It's a similar car too, not a vette and a corolla...
Probably those all seasons are better than the average tire sold nation wide too, on average cars atleast.
Also by your logic, any tire test not done with your car and tire size is irrelevant when buying tires for your car.
