tire studs are junk in my opinion you get one maybe 2 winters out of them before they start poking holes through the tire
on dry roads or uncovered roads they make you slide easier
the only time studs are good is if you are constantly on covered roads which is rare

True

lol 25 years ago youd see me in parking lots spinning around and doing donuts with emergency brakes

my cousin and me had my aunt in the car once and was doing it and scared her because we was doing it during the day and cars in the lot lol

I grew up in a small town of about 1000 15 minutes from here. I remember going through Main Street in the middle of a storm and hit the parking brake to get the rear end started sideways and then shifting into reverse doing donuts at about 30mph. Lol. Good times

Are studs legal in some areas? They aren’t here, haven’t been at least since I was a kid. I remember dad talking about it

I have set of brandy new ones here for the Camry 205/70
Illegal in NJ because they launch bits like bullets on the hyway.

First time I've had piecreate in the back of this truck. Beat the hell out of the bedliner with a three foot steel rod.

Nasty stuff!... but some noddles in a bag with some saw dust and a gallon or two of water can build you a new road with traction right quick in freezing temps.

and why i suggested coal from work in his bed
weight coal power plants use is golf ball size or smaller and spread it out on the road and traction
what he doesnt use he can burn lol

My wife was like that when we were younger too. She rode with me everywhere in 11 second street cars without giving a damn. Now she acts like I've forgotten how to drive or something.

lol maybe you did lol

If I tried it nowadays I’d end up jumping the sidewalk and going through a store front

[Woodpecker]

the reason why i havent posted is because im like alot of people and see 2 totally different stories and why would i need to add gas to the flame

You have no idea how appreciated that is. If 75% of the fellers in that thread had the same attitude it wouldn't be a mess.

You've been blessed with grade A laboring weather, and all you wanna do is sweat?

Good afternoon guy's
I went to check on the 90 year old that lives at the end of the ridge
He's got a mess of a tree down and
Our power is still out
He has a house 30 miles from here in town
But he likes the ridge and his farm
I'm going to take him some propane bottles.

Hell....I've found the same to be true in mud. I always ran those tall skinny mud grips, and went pretty much anywhere I wanted to go.

Yep...

Oddly enough, lower tire pressure works well on ice and snow too. I don’t know how many tires we’ve aired down to get up the shack hill in deer season. Gotta go slow once you hit the pavement so they don’t heat up, but it was worth it to keep from doing the walk of shame the rest of the way up

I used to air down my 12.5" wide mud terrains to 10 psi on my TJ. Just like being in the dunes. Float all over off in the deep snow. At street pressure I couldn't go anywhere. On the street, I prefer skinny snow tires. The Jeep was a handful on slippery roads with a Detroit true trac up front and track lock out back.

Hardly ever thankfully lol

i dont have the cold and snow the northern guys do but we are a little more prepared than the southern states

 

[Egg Shooter]

I almost added a caveat at the beginning that that was my philosophy and others may disagree.

I think both are true. Depends on the type of conditions, weight of the vehicle ect. Ive experienced it both ways.
