Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

For what? I paid $750 for 10ply snows last year around this time. 4 of them (no dually here!).

Nokian LT's with studs and just 4 of them also, some people don't like studded tires I do and I actually need them on a couple of steep grades and then in my steep driveway. I used to use the Cooper studded snows but have switched over to the Nokians the last several years.

Woa.
I thought studs were illegal nearly everywhere (except mail carriers).
That's some coin. Good luck.

Technically, studded tires ARE legal in Michigan.... it's just that no manufacturers have submitted the proper documentation that their tires meet or exceed Michigan's pavement wear specs. :laughing:

MDOT - Can I use studded tires in Michigan?

I'd think they'd be noisy as **** and slippery on dry roads, but I've never used them. One of my dad's wood trailers had an old studded tires on it though...

At $225 ea, I like my "winterforce" tires just fine.

Studded tires illegal - you have to be kidding or you just sniffed too much glue. This is the time of year when a drive into the big city - Spokane - will sound like a city full of hissing snakes.

I decided to go with studless winters for the first time, Blizzak DM-V2s. Cost just a bit over a grand with tax, plus another $75 to mount and balance them. The only time studs have an advantage is on ice, and we don't get too much of that. Supposedly the "studless" tires work almost as well as studs on ice, and better everywhere else. They have great reviews, guess we'll see.

Looking further, studded tires are legal in many states.

We miss seeing you up here!! We are winter silent sports type people so we moved here for that.

I went to school at MTU and my cousin worked at the college for like 15+ years. I miss it sometimes.

Gee, I just put new snow tires on the Honda bread box today. (element) We've has snowy streets for over a week now and NOAA says it might stay.

Put the snows on one car over the weekend.
Taking the wheels for the other car to the tire shop tomorrow (waiting on tpms sensor to come since one went bad). They're holding tires for me so they don't sell out.
Truck's snows aren't as much of a rush..... Maybe next week if it's still white out.

I have a small fortune in wheels, snow tires, and tire pressure sensors (and associated tools to make them work).
