Back to Jonathan's Jeep and tires......
Studded tires have saved me from being wrecked by OTHER drivers more than once. We run studs on all our rigs from Oct 1-Apr 30. When the studs wear down we remove them and they become summer tires. All rigs have tires/rims for winter and summer tires, a local shop where I buy tires swaps rims/tires over every spring and fall for free. They also sipe the center part of tread before installing studs. Until you try them you don't know what traction you are missing.
That is :2 cents:
Bob,
I could not remember the name of the hill, but then that was back in '61. Thanks.
