Unfortunately, lots of states (and maybe providences) have laws against
studded tires, they are pretty hard on many pavement surfaces and the
publics money is more important than safety (ours obviously is not).
Ice is a problem with ABS, and really slow speeds are also, I think they
should automatically cut out below 2-3mph. I don't know how many times I
have had the ABS cut my breaks just as I was coming to a stop on
slippery surfaces, rolling out into traffic because your stupid ABS
thinks the wheels are locking up when they are not is scary.
I have to agree with Bill on this one.

Have you ever driven a car on wind-polished glare ice?
No, but if I knew it was a likelihood I'd guess I'd have on a set of suitably
studded/impregnated winter tyres like the Nokian Hakkapeliittas
