Question another tire inquiry

i've been looking on the web and at local dealers for new tires for my pickup and car.

what difference does a solid tread down the middle of the tire make compared to one that isn't solid? i see it on car and truck tires. i would think that it makes for less traction with a solid tread.

any info would be helpful.

the original hummer tires have a solid center rib and that makes them horrible in snow and ice.
