Don't do studs. In a dry conditions your braking capability is severely compromised.
Oops... too late. I got hakkapellitas.

ouien, sauf qu'eux changent leurs tires aux 100km genre...
waip, c'est pour ça que ça ne se vend pas vraiment à cette épaisseur là pour une Mazda3 2014. Dommage.ouien, sauf qu'eux changent leurs tires aux 100km genre...
skinny is better in winter. smaller contact patch means more weight per area, which means you cut through snow. wider means you sit on top of it, and snow is slippery. Ice is a different thing since a wider tire is better for ice, but then again, if you have a skinny studded tire = best of both worlds

Yea, wider tires with a greater contact patch will always be better on hard surfaces. But in extreme blizzards, Studded definitely seems like the way to go. I dont mind sacrificing some dry traction so i can have god like traction on ice and snow. Way I see it, People tend to get stuck in deep snow not dry pavement :laugh:
Once again, it's the emergency braking and evading on dry that's sketch.
As far as rally tires go, they show up with 5 different sets of tires for all conditions. Look up tractionising tires.
I tried hard braking today a couple times, ABS definetly kicks in easier than on other tires iv had. But it seems managable. I mean obvious you have to adopt different driving styles for different tires. Im not gonna drive the same way on the hakkapeliittas as I would with my ADVAN sports on a hot summer day.
I think this week im gonna go on a quiet road and see how the car handles quick direction changes at relatively high speeds.
