Most modern compounds may be OK but I know from experience (and a written off car) that the "Ice Compound" tyres suffered from a deteriation of the compound over a short period of time - one to three years - and are then very slippery on damp/wet road surfaces with no warning of break away.
Been quite a few serious crashes due to these compound tyres down here and they're now illegal.
