No studs. I don?t like studs, they just destroy the roads and make a h*** of a noice. Only good when it?s real ice on the road. Were I live it?s wet or dry roads ( no snow ) maybe 75% of the time during winter months.

Got an invitation from BMW Sweden for a track day with only M5 E60`s!

This will be nice. Last drive with the summer tyres probably. I?ll keep my fingers crossed that the temperatures will stay at nice level.
