Engineered for the elements, the Observe G3-Ice is a superior winter tire for all types of passenger vehicles. Tread blocks have sawtoothed edges that bite into icy surfaces for better braking. Stud hole placement is optimized, improving road contact and traction with fewer studs to deliver a quieter ride. Wide grooves clear slush out of the tread with efficiency and hundreds of multidirectional sipes provide traction in every direction. The specialized rubber compound contains environmentally friendly crushed walnut shells for extra bite on snow and ice, and high silica content so tires stay flexible in extremely cold temperatures. Whether studded or studless, the Observe G3-Ice will forge through snow-rutted roads and deliver confident cornering, stopping and acceleration when winter is at its worst.<br/>This tire can have metal studs installed to improve traction on hard-packed snow and icy surfaces. They are not recommended on wet or dry surfaces and often only legal during certain times of the year.

great features
Eliminates need for studs. Also worry about deadlines to put on or remove tires. Not to mention the pain of tearing up your (or friends) driveway.

It snowed soon after I purchased these tires. The description wasn't hype. These tires are the real deal.
