But studs are only good for one condition, glare ice. For the other
99% of the time, they tear up the roads and increase stopping
distance. I can remember going down Iowa secondary roads in winter
where the farmers ran studs all year round. Two icy troughs on each
side of the road, not so hot for driving. There's a reason they were
banned except for emergency vehicles. So not that great an idea. If
it's that bad out there, DON'T GO!
