I just figure when conditions are at their worst i want the best possible grip i can get.

when conditions are at their best , anything round and rubbery should do. (for commuting)

Boot, do what you feel is teh bestest

Studded versus non studded... :O Ice braking 34.2% increase Dry road braking 5.2% decrease.

Think i'll be going general altimax artic, Studded again. Icy roads + tourists & donkeys = OH SHIT!!! hahaha

I'm just not sure if i want to do a 215/55/17 again .7" increase to sidewall (and ride height) ... on the STI since its kinda low for tahoe snow this was really nice last year...

set of 4 studded : $500
Installation $40
Pulling out a stuck SUV from the snow berm @ sierra = PRICELESS hahahaha
