Default If you have quattro, no need for studs....
I ran studs for 25 years until I had a decent AWD. No reason for studs with good AWD like quattro.

Default Exactly. Studs are only needed on pure ice.
The wet snow/slush we get here in the NW can easily be handled by studless snow tires. Studs in the wet/dry are actually more dangerous as you have less traction.

Default Black ice is the only reason to have studs in PNW. Unfortuneatly I have seen a fair amount of it
over the years...

Default Even with studded tires, the roads around here can't get that much worse...
and I'm from New England, I know a bad road when I see one.
