This is 100% true. If you run stock studs on wheels like Draglites or similar they will eventually break and chances are it'll happen when you're turning

I run 15x3.5" Draglites with Futura 165 "metric radials" from Pep Boys. I hear they no longer sell these though. Kumbo makes a 165/80R15 tire for $43 on tirerack...
