"All tire manufacturers" don't. Where do you think GM, Ford and other vehicle manufacturers test the tires before accepting them?
Snow testing is extremely difficult because there is no one accepted technical definition of the snow surface that represents all "snow" conditions.
All that can be said for testing at that location is that if tires are run on those vehicles on that snow with those conditions will probably perform as tested. All bets are off if you go somewhere else or change the conditions. Nothing is 1005.
I don't mean the testing is meaningless, just don't put all your faith in the results from this one location.
