STEVE-O Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I can get a good deal on used set of winter force tires for the daily question is will driving on freeways and non iced roads drive me crazy with the noise and vibration? Simple answer don't do it, they will get torn up when on regular pavement not what tey are intended to be used for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 They are technically Legal Nov - April I think. Not sure I'd do it.. Maybe if we lived in northern Maine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoticGaming Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 If they're cheap and you need tires go for it but expect to replace them come spring.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I wouldn't do it. The roads arent covered in snow all winter. You'll eat them up pretty quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I see what you did there. Whatcha got? Little bit but I would honestly never run a studded tire. I have Cooper WeatherMaster in a 205-50-17 93t have 75-80% left or more Il take $250 to et then out of the garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 The maximum speed for studded tires is rather low, around 45 mph if I'm not mistaken. The studs are only effective on ice and they wear fast on dry and wet conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrxRcr Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Depends if you get metal studs or plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Not around here. If theyre already used, you might get a couple of months out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 If you need studded tires to handle Ohio winter you need to hand in your driver's license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 The only person I know that uses studded tires is my Brother in law. He lives on a dirt road On the side of a mountain in Western NY Where they get over 160" of snow per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Sonoma Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Michelin makes a winter tire that is amazing. My boss daily'd his 2012 M5 with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pntbll309 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Studs are horrible to drive on. Noise and handling suck. But if you care more about getting a good deal, kinda hard to pass those up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiek2000 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 You shouldn't need studs around here. I run Blizzak LM-25 on my G8 and Firestone Winterforce on my Ranger and they both do great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
