Are studded tires fine to park with in the garage without damaging the concrete pad?
mine scraped up my drive way last year when i stopped too hard on it lol i wouldn't be dry turning or stopping/accelerating too hard in a garage if i had studs.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Got an order in with Kal for studded hakkas. idk starting to get cold feet on studded tires. Wondering if the upside of all that sweet icy traction is worth their downsides.
What are the downsides? I've never really noticed anything, but I'm not that observant lolThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Noise, less dry payment traction, garage scratches. Those are all I can think of.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Do they actually give you less traction on dry pavement?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Unless you drive an S2000 (or something else with equally poor sound insulation), or drive with your windows down in the winter, noise is a non issue in my experience.
Scratching the driveway and garage floor is the only thing that might happen. If you dry steer in your garage or driveway for some reason.
Once in a while my tires would break loose kind easy when taking off, but not really worth noting, i still drive like a d bag in my ram with them on drive pavement.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yes they do give less traction, Well documented. Some tires are worse than others.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I agree with the noise. And steering in the garage is the best thing to do!

In a quiet car the noise is very loud. I had them in my Tesla and pulled them out because of the drawbacks. They were worse on pavement, no different in snow, hard on the parking mats... then we got a winter full of freezing rain and I regretted my decision lol!
My hakka's do indeed have less cold/dry pavement grip because of the studs. I'm on the fence if I'd do studs again, they were great in Edmonton because they tend to have more snowpacked roads but Calgary gets more melting back down to bare pavement.
That being said, the few times it's icey as fuck as they grab hard is probably more important than the Chinook days and bare pavement when I can stop adequately anyways. Really should never be in a position that the dry pavement grip actually comes into play unless you drive like an idiot.
It's more of how well the vehicle is noise insulated. We barely noticed the noise in our E wagon, while the Sienna you can clearly hear the tires especially at higher speeds. Teslas have next to no sound insulation so it must've been a racket haha.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I like neat cars.
Ordering mine tomorrow for my F150. Is the consensus studs or studless?
Just don’t be poor and have one of each.

No consensus. I personally wouldn't choose studs, but I can see why someone might.
