Re: Snow and Ice Driving 700 '89

Studs are bad news on any roads except those covered with snow or thick ice. Plus, they destroy roads (the ruts in I-5 come from all those studded cars.) Studs also exhibit very poor handling on dry or wet pavement.

So: buy yourself some good mud-snow all seasons with high wet traction ratings. Keep a set of cable chains in the trunk for the occasional skiing trip, and forget about studs.
