I wonder if the tires themselves make a difference. I’m running the exact same model of tires that I previously ran unstudded, and I’m not picking up a noticeable difference in handling or braking. It is a year later (hard to compare exactly with that gap), and I know there are studies out there that remark on poorer handling/braking for studded tires on dry, so my subjective experience probably means nothing.
On top of that, I wouldn’t say I own or regularly drive anything that particularly “shines” in the handling department in the first place.
