Put 4 studded Gislaved NordfrostII tires on Mercedes 190 E 2.6 in November 1998. These tires are extremely dangerous on dry pavement and offer little traction. My daughter was involved in a singe car accident on 2/27/99 where car slid on dry pavement in a banked curve, spun and hit the guard rail twice on left side. Car was totaled. Fortunately, the Mercedes did what it was supposed to do - driver had significant bumps and bruises, but passenger compartment remained in tact.
