^thanks for the explanation ...

the one I bought is a studless tire.
Since there isn't much snow/ice in Zürich area (~400m.above sealevel), nobody uses studded tires here, I think we don't have them at all -my parents in the Engadin/St.Moritz had some "spike tires" on their Subaru for a while, the "spikes" extended the surface by 1 or 2 mm only and we call them "spikes" - as you said very noisy on asphalte and the speed limit is 80km/h.
