<x-flowed>Here in Norway, about 60% of all cars drive on studded snow cars, and 
about 39 of the remaining 40% drive on studless snow tires all winter 
long. The studs actually have a mission besides providing better grip 
for your vehicle. They also help to dig into the snow/ice that may be on 
the road, the studless tires are just polishing the surface which makes 
it even more slippery than usual.

On the other hand, driving on dry/wet roads with studded tires causes a 
lot of dust as the studs also tear up the asphalt, causing trouble for 
people with breathing problems, asthma especially.
