means...right???
I would attribute much of this to yuor driving style. Someone who buys a top line Vette, a Ford Lightening, and an SRT8 doesn't exactly do it to drive like a little old lady. I would say that you push your vehicles from time to time and in that case, studded tires can prove to be dangerous.
Again, it depends on how I drive with them. Many years ago, I had a Magnum and it had Eagle GT tires on it and as big as it was, I drove it hard and it did what I asked. My buddy had Eagle ST's on his car and when he got rid of the car, he gave me his ST's (same size as my GT's) as my tires were wearing out (I can't imagine why). A few day's after installing them, I was flying down the entrance ramp to 287 (60 on a 40 mph ramp as usual) and the car spun around on me (luckly I used to drive like and idiot and kept it from hitting the curb) and I thought what pieces of shit these tires were. The problem is that he never had any trouble with them at all but then again, he didn't drive as hard as I did, they just didn't have the grip that the GT's did so it really wan't the tire, but my driving style that caused the problem.
Read above and I also had them on a few cars in my younger days in NJ and as long as I was aware that they were there and drove with some sanity, besides the noise, they gave me little trouble. Granted, I couldn't jump off of the line like my friends could on dry days, but I also didn't get stuck in the ice like they did.
