Some non-studded tires are very much better than others, but I agree the best solution is for people to drive within their skill set. Unfortunately, most folks don’t know their skill set.
When you put 60-80 guys between the ages of 22 and 40 into EVOC training, about 80% of them will anonymously rate themselves somewhere between “slightly better than average” and “much better than average” in driving skill. But by the end of day #1 of training, almost all of them realize their driving skills are actually very poor. Unfortunately, most folks on our highways never get a chance at decent training and evaluation. When they end up crashing, they believe it’s because of the tires, the vehicle, the other guy, etc.
