    May be a dumb question but are their any black stealth studs for studded winter tires ?

    Have to drive into an area that don’t allow studded occasionally and while my Hakka r3SUV’s are good I miss studded.

    Why doesn’t that area allow studs?

    Basically, no.

    Your R3's are still better than 80% of studded tires.

    I find most studded tires (excluding Hakka and the new xice) are a much firmer tread base, so the tread isn't as supportive to the studs. Leading to less predictable performance that only benefits -15 or under.

    Yep I got it. Was being rhetorical to see what kind of B.S. the OP is trying to get away with.

    What is your favorite oatmeal?
