I am getting winter tires for the first time on my truck this year. I was 100% set on getting them studded. I started to think about it. How much do you really want studs in the city? I drive on highways quite a bit but I would say 80% of the winter the highway is dry.

Do you stud your winters?

If you have a chance to stud, then why not.


I've said this in another thread and I'll say again. A couple of my friends have Impreza WRX's with AWD and winter tires. They studded. They swear by it and said their car was unstoppable :thumbsup:

Only reason I dont want to stud is the noise. If it is just mainly a noise maker I would rather not have it then.

As said in the other thread they dont really make a loud noise, just quiet, and I'm pretty sure on the highway it might be quieter? :confused:

This.

The noise isn't bad unless you drive with the windows down, and no stereo playing. It's a quiet hum in the background at most, don't notice it unless I turn off my stereo.
