Most shops say with FWD you need to get all 4 tires studded. AWD all 4… rwd just the rear 2.

Blizzak’s, Hakkapelliitas.

don’t get studded.

Most shops are retarded, like studded winter tires unless you’re ice racing.

6

you def do not need studded up here…

I’m going to be getting a set of Dunlop Winter Sport 3D soon I think. Hakkepelitas are some of the best, but also some of the most expensive.

Last year we had a lot of ice though, and my car slid bad even with winter tires, thats why I was considering studding them just cause I would get better traction if this winter is like or worse than last years. Ugh Im not looking forward to winter :frowning:

I’ve got studded general altimax arctics which I actually like better than the blizzaks I previously had. The tread seems to be holding up better and they are cheaper. Personally I like the studs a lot for driving mountainous vermont snow covered roads all winter where there will still be a hard packed layer of ice/snow on the road several days after a storm. Probably would not have gone with the studs if I didn’t drive up there all the time and stayed more local with my driving as they are noisy as fuck.

Not to mention I think studded snows are downright dangerous in dry conditions.

NOKIAN HAKKAPELITTA! Serious!

Remember winter tires become useless once they are halfway worn and the soft winter compound wears off…

I have Blizzak WS-50’s. No complaints.

Blizzaks… As long as you dont drive like a jackass you should only need the front tires…

If you want to feel real safe get a set for the rear to.
