here in finland we have a lot of ice, and winter tires are mandatory. We drive studded tires about from November to mid-April.

My awd GT-FOUR celica has old studded Nokian tires (Hakkapeliitta 4, developed for finnish conditions).

It may go forward with any tires, but gosh try to turn in a downhill icy curve if you had all-seasoners on, in an awd with a light rear.

Even in the summer, my FWD War wagon has studless winters up front, but that's because i'm poor, and had to mix tire sets due to a popped tire.

But at least I have rain tires back...
