Have you guys ever used these tires before? They are the Hankook Winter ipike snow tires. Any other brands suggested? Its for a saturn sedan. Studs or no studs?

 Bridgestone Blizzaks, studless.

Do the portsmouth  roads get bad enough to have studded tires. You can really
 hear those things driving down the road

Get the studded tires!  have them on all the cars Ive owned   wish I could afford it Id do it to my truck too  but at 150 a tire   not in the budget   just have to keep pulling the lever back to 4 wheel drive....

Its not portsmouth I care about I am in Alton for most of the winter, the road is not plowed at my camp for a while sometimes, plus I like to drive out on the ice.

I put coopers w/studs on my sons car, an Olds Intrigue for like 80 bucks apiece.  They have been great.

Yeah. Cooper makes a good M/S tire. i've had them on a few plowtrucksw/o studs and they really hug the road. in a one ton truck you almost don't have to use 4 wheel drive if you have some weight in the rear.

Icelander MT's. I'm putting 33 inchers on my bronco. they arent studded but the rubber was mixed in with little carbide flakes, as you drive and wear down your tires new flakes are exposed, gives you a lot of extra grip and a lot less noise. save you a few on your gas milage too.

I  have always had studded winter tire on my trucks, it gets ya almost anywhere but you do need a seperate set for summer use. The road noise isn't a problem as the windows are always up w/ the heater going anyway!

Go with the the Coopers have a set I put on wife's van they are the greatest thing I have no worries when it snows.......Best thing I ever did was listen to her when she said I think I need snow tires.
