Besides the obvious difference in thread design, the big difference is the rubber compound. The summer tires become very hard at low temperatures and loose grip by not getting warm.

Just came back upstate NY today. Roads are clear of snow, but very salty/sandy. Not good for an aluminum car

Roads are pretty much dry. Very sunny day. Took out both cars from the garage. The Ferrari has been on a little drive, just to get all fluids to the right temperature.

The Spyker is next

you know what you're talking about When we used to go skiing with the whole family, in Sweden, we always used "nail"-tires (spijkerbanden).. Is that the right word for it, in english??

"spyker-tires"

I think nail-tires are called studded tires, but I'm not sure.

I have not seen them used in the USA. People use chains when it gets too bad. Our winter tires are just S&M tires (Snow and Mud)
