In my father=E2=80=99s repair shop we used to stud tires. I had =
a Datson 240Z and studied both front and rear tires (then recommended) =
It was like perpetually riding on ice the car wandered terribly. I =
spent a whole afternoon removing the studs. I don=E2=80=99t believe =
that studded tires are allowed in Massachusetts anymore. They did a =
tune on the asphalt roads, as unlike chains, people had them on full =
time during the winter, and many all year.
Best,
bob
