expecting major snow this weekend. should be a fun event.

For ice, not good. need the softest snow tire possible. Then take that soft snow tire and "tractionize" it.

If one were to do that to their snow tires and drive it on bare tarmac would it get shredded in no time? Would it also be extremely squirmy?

if you've never driven on ice with studded tires, you have not lived.

wow, i want to try that.

this past week event was canceled. they got hit with inter storm. condition would have been too dangerous for people to travel especially with trailers.

hopefully this weekend weather will be better.

My brain immediately says bad idea to drive in the snow/ice. Then I realized there is no salt involved here, just "clean" snow/ice.

Looks like so much fun!
