studs or studless snow tires??

(1/6) > >>

ok...so let's throw this out there right off the bat...i am from the northeastern U.S. and studs/chains/etc are all illegal where i come from. i have never used studs or chains for on-road driving and don't know which winter tires to get for my wife's jeep. she's decided that she will need studs or something more than her regular tires for her jeep. so curious to know if anybody thinks pretty highly of the new studless snow tires or just the regular old studded snows....don't really care much about the cost, just want whats best for her car. i understand that this is not the end-all solution to traction in the snow, but if it will give her a little warm fuzzy feeling in her tummy, then that'd be good.
lets not turn this into a learn how to drive in the snow thread...just looking for some input regarding the tires...thanks.

The wife has the studless snow tires on her car. They seem to work well. :twocents:

Where i live ( Cle Elum ) seems studs are the norm . I dont use them on my truck but i got some for the wife with her new Rav4 and i have to admit , that thing gets around like a snomobile . Peace of mind for me because she is a chitty driver  :chuckle:

I put the les schwab wintercat sst with studs on my wifes Jeep Grand Cherokee last winter. It was her first winter really driving on snow/ice. She didn't have any problems all winter and we had constant snow on the roads here in Wenatchee all winter. I don't run them on my own rig but I must say, it was the best/easiest driving vehicle on snowy/icy roads I've ever driven. We sold the Jeep and I'm now looking for some studded tires for her Mazda Tribute.
