Here in the snowy/ icy New England, all of our personal rides have aggressive treaded snows with studs on all four wheels. Have been doing this for many a year, and have had no problems...the noise sounds like little stones stuck in your tire at low speeds, highway speeds I've never noticed them. Also, have never experienced reduced dry road handling.

They really don't do much good in the snow, but worth their weight in GOLD on hard packed snow and ice. I'm originally from South Central PA and started my winter tire habit there due to the amount of hard packed snow and ice.

Our winter tires see four to five seasons (Nov-April) before they are useless.

Go for it and enjoy.
