Show off Your TITS .......(if you have any)

Is it chains or cables ? or do you have to have chains ? and rear only I presume ?

 

yes I only have rear chains, didn't even use them that day.

Cables are fine too for highways. Most people around here have winter/snow tires tho. Studs arnt aloud either

 

Yeah , we established that , I was asking about cables

 

cool

Yup, but cables are suitable to use, considered chains.

I'd only use them on passenger tires or light duty highway tires.

 

Well obviously but I was simply referring to guys who just do whatever.... It usually works out for em.

Personally I think bottom line ice sucks balls, and wet snow equally... Cause the dry snow in Calgary or Edmonton is super grippy and the tire ruts keep you in track haha

 

Clearly you haven't driven here

 

Totally , wet snow is completely different to drive in than dry snow

 

Why is that ?

 

Most cables I've seen are super thin and wouldn't cover at's very well, would be almost useless on mt's. There might be some better ones suited better for trucks but prob better off with a basic set of chains. I'd think cables would ware out a lot faster too.

 

Thanks

 

Here as in Calgary or Edmonton?

I have driven a ton in both cities... I film snowboarding for a living so traveling Canadian cities in the winter for handrails is my game.

I guess I had cold weather lol... I was simply referring to the difference from BC to dryer/colder areas

 

There is a difference but you've never had fun till you've gotten dry snow blowing over a highway turning it to glass. Even with Greendiamond encrusted boots I still slipped on the highway at an mvc.

 

Snow driving is always interesting! Wet, dry, or windblown. It is amazing how different snow conditions vary.

The absolute worst though is when its been really cold and ice forms on the road. And then it warms up to just at or above freezing and you are left with a thin film of water on the ice. Lubricated ice. It's a shit show. Correct me if I am wrong here

 

Since we got a little snow today

 

Usually I'm all for some lube being added to the situation but not when ice is involved

I understand what u mean I think... Cause , ahem pardon the expression, dry , frozen ice is better than wet melting ice lol that sounds stupid as I write it out

 

Not wrong.
