Landy has wider tyres than the BM - 235 vs 225s - but super high profile with very deep treads. It's also pretty torquey. Unbelievably good grip in snow and ice.
So its not tyre width, its not RFTs. Why are they so terrible in snow? TBH, I've no idea!

In this context don't mix tyre types, (Landy to BMW) think of the same summer tyre on the Landy, and see how we compare. Tyre width is a major cause of not getting on well with snow. Same for FWD cars, seen it this week, wide sections still scrabbling for traction.
I've had the chance in the past to compare two identical cars, on different width summer tyres. (Let's leave winter tyres out as well, as that's a different animal). One car had 155 section, the other 185. Was a chalk and cheese experience in snow.
