Nokian studded winter tires are so good it's like cheating

I recently decided to try studded winter tires on my car. When you live in the Canadian snow belt like I do, you need all the help you can get driving in the winter. These amazing diamond-tipped Nokian tires are exceeding my expectations for braking and acceleration on ice and packed snow, plus they're a lot quieter than I expected on clear pavement. The technology is quite new, so it looks like Nokian has worked out the traditional issues with studded tires.

Cost? About the same as any high quality winter tire. So what's not to love?

A grateful shout out to the people at Kal Tire for suggesting I give these a try.
