I read up on them because I wanted to rock them on the G, they only improve stopping distances in very icy conditions, and actually give you less grip in any other situation. They’re worth it if you drive somewhere that is always slippery, but otherwise fuck it.

Contrary to popular belief, solarian is absolutely correct in that studded tires are basically of no use to most of us.

Tire Rack performans controlled testing on these types of things, watch this quick (2 min or so) video on their studded vs. studless tire testing on a ice rink.
