When slippage occurs the treads then divert material to the side allowing more traction. Under braking material is channeled faster into the center of the tread. On a trailing or non-driven axle putting the tires on in a reverse direction will add to stability and increase the braking capabilities as any water , snow or loose material in continuously diverted to the  outside of the tread. The use of directional tires will increase the chances of a spinout. While they can increase forward traction by 30% they also reduce stability by 30%.
