outahere Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 True, but.. I like this aspect of their test: they showed that studded isn't ALWAYS better than studless. Or, said another way: unless you get really good studded tires, studless probably aren't much worse. HV The various Scandinavian tire tests I have seen tested both top-of-the-line studded and non-studded tires (unlike Tire Rack, which tests premium non-studded tires against an ancient studded Firestone tire). When it comes to braking and cornering on ice, the best studded tires significantly outperform the best non-studded tires. In all other performance tests, they perform about equally.

jsmorrow Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Like these... http://www.motorsport.com/photos/wrc/2006/swe/thumbs/wrc-2006-swe-xp-0029.jpg I was joking with my boss about these just yesterday. Imagine you would never get stuck though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 ^^ I don't care what tires you have, if you get high centered bad enough your gonna get stuck. That being said, I just have shitty all season tires (can't afford good ones...) on my car. So I take it easy and leave a lot of distance, most of which I usually use when trying to stop... Adds to the fun of winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adds to the fun of winter Ok, 99.9% of the time I'm REALLY grateful that we don't get snow here in the Bay Area.. However, having bought Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, and knowing how good my Pilot Alpins were, I kinda want to TRY some snow to see how well AWD can perform.. Funny - lived in Canada and always had FWD. Moved to California, and bought an AWD car :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
