The studs destroy the roads, reduce traction, and when you run them on dry roads, the stud tips eventually get ground off by the pavement, leaving you with a tire that has lousy traction from the little steel dots to increase slip and worn studs when you really need them.

Harry, how many of these folks like to brag on trips to Timberline (ski resort) on weekends?
