On ice, hard packed snow, partially frozen snow or
"black ice" - Studded tyres save lives.

In these conditions you will lose all control over your car, if you have tyres without studs even at moderate speeds like 30 mph (app. 50kph).
ABS, ESP, friction-tyres etc. can't help you when you're going sideways towards a lamppost, wall or other obstacle.

Studded tyres save lives.

"black ice" = Where the layer of ice is so thin that you can't see it, because the asphalt/tarmac/blactop is clearly visible through it ).
