All it means is that 25% of the tread area is open. It has no correlation to ability to handle rain, snow, mud, etc., just that there is 25% available area for displacment of these materials. A straight ribbed tire like those used on bicyle front wheels in the past might even qualify for the All Season rating.
Four snows make all the difference in the world! But even then you need judicious use of the throttle or the torque will break them free when accelerating from a stop.
