Sounded like each wheel had a hornets nest in it. Very noticeable buzz. I didn't mind that, and shooting sparks if doing a burnout was cool. :P You do lose a bit of traction and braking distance on dry pavement though vs a studless winter.
With tire technology where it is today your only benefit is on ice. A good studless tire will perform slightly worse on ice, but just as good, if not better, on snow. Much better on pavement. I still love studs with the amount of out of town driving I do but if I rarely left the city I wouldn't bother anymore
