Did he go with them? Im curious if they changed the design..
This was about 20 years ago for me when the hakkapalitas were put on the work van. They had the same tread pattern as what they use on smaller vehicles.
Like I said before, cars and light trucks they were awesome. So when the boss had a set put on the work van, we were thinking cool!!!! We're good to go.
A few days later we had a snow storm come through over a few days. We were getting stuck on flat surfaces in 4" to 6" of snow.
In places where we didn't have an issue the year before in worse conditions.
Then after starting slowly down one hill and having the van run away from us (pucker factor of 10) and barely managing to keep the bloody thing in the road, we limped it back to the tire store.
Darn thing would get a glance at some snow and start sliding.
