Its easier to keep the power delivery to the tyres contact patch smooth, at lower GI. This means you are less likely to skidd.
You are also probably running slower tyres, over less than ideal surfaces, and carryig more weight (my winter tyes weigh 1 fecking Kg each).
But yes. I can also see the benifits to maintainng a higher cadense in colder conditions.
