With studded tires, you *have* better control than the cars!
At the train station in my town, I have on occasion had friendly competition with cars to see who can get to the stop sign at the parking lot's exit at the top of a hill. When there's snow or ice on the street, I can easily beat a car, which is invariably spinning its tires and going nowhere. I'm not sure if the drivers understand that it's not a fair fight!
