Yes, I'm from Canada where studded snow tires are very common, and I used them for many years. But studded tires aren't allowed here in Germany (and German law fictates that thou shalt have winter-certified tires during the colder months).

Advancements in tire technology in the last ~10 years has proven that even studless winter tires can be pretty amazing. In the last decade, on various vehicles I've used Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzaks (both are fantastic). Hoping these Pirellis will compare (although winter in Germany is nothing like winter in Canada).
