So after looking at the damage in the driveway from the studded tires, damage at work parking lot and almost getting hit because I couldn't get traction trying to make a left turn ... I am debating pulling the studs out of my Winterfarce tires.
The Winterforce tires aren't that great all around. This will be my last winter on them. I will get something new for '15-'16; Blizzak WS70 or General Altimax Arctic ... can't find Nokians around here.I usually only run snow tires a few winters so I can always have good snow tires , then offload on CL.
Anyone have any pros/cons to destudding them? They really aren't that great in ice even with the studs so I can't see them being much worse.
I'll probably end up pulling the studs and re-siping the spots that may have worn down a bit.
The noise also drives me nuts. I suspect that is from the studs. Louder than the mud tires on my Jeep ...
