Only downside is the crackling noise of studs on Tarmac is reminiscent of frying bacon (or to some, a popular rice-based cereal), so I always arrive at my destination distinctly peckish.
Here's another recent flipped car on a notorious spot for black ice on my route.
The crackle noise from my ice tyres varies with the road surface.
I've been on some stretches where they are close to silent, on other surfaces they are quite noisy.
Noise, it's transmission and perception is a strange thing.
