STUDS

[David]

are they legal in nebraska??? I'm thinking about buying another set of wheels for the escort and putting studded tires on em. I remember asking a tire store about a year ago about them and they said they could do it.. so i assume it's legal but i never see anyone with them...

Are snow chains illegal?

Are snow chains illegal?

(c) It shall be permissible to use tire chains of reasonable proportions upon any vehicle when required for safety because of snow, ice, or other condition tending to cause a vehicle to slide or skid.

edit: i guess not.

Studs FTW>

if i had a RWD i'd have blizzacks on it

[David]

Studs are going on the escort.


I think it would be bad ass to put studs on the vette though.

[David]

blizzacks are usually only good for one year though.

[JesterMX6]

i don't see the point in studs on a FWD car. i had a FWD car for long enough to know that there's always a way out unless you're high centered. and if you're high centered, you're ****ed anyway.


my advice, invest in some good all seasons and call it good.

[David]

no way.. studs pwn ice.

snowtrakker tires... non studded but work better than blizzaks & hell of a lot cheaper.

I run those on the rally car.

studs on the front = all seasons on the back = drifto

friend had studded on his Acura RL. They were great. Used them when we went out to Colorado in late December. No issues at all.

For the 1 or 2 days a year you use them, I'm a fan of chains. You can chow through most anything with them.

[BossRoss]

wouldnt the studs wear out in a couple days. and what would the point be since most of the main roads dont have ice on em anymore?

[David]

i've seen studs last plenty of hard miles on dry pavement. wouldn't do any good right now...

actually i took the escort for a spin on some slippery hills around my area and she pwnd them like a ****ing mountain goat. IF you need someone to pull your Jeep out let me know ;)

seriously though it did well... i think it might be able to do just fine without studs but only time will tell.

[dsmdarryl]

yeah kid with the RL rocked them all through the summer. they just get kinda annoying.

[82355]

Yes they are legal in the winter, no they don't wear out in a couple days, and they are far superior to plain snow tires.

Oh, and they make for neat burnouts in the middle of the summer, on dry pavement, on the back of an IROC.

Really have missed you the last couple of days... where you been?

[JesterMX6]

no ****. aweb posted somewhere syaing a car was ugly and i was surprised there wasn't a post underneath that from martin

[BOORAH]

Yeah my friend has studs on his LS1 and they work(ed) great.

[David]

i'd **** a brick if someone could find tires to fit my wheels that came studded.

:rofl:

[JesterMX6]

there's a set of falkens that i'm sure would fit and they have the little ports in them to add studs.

[82355]

Yeah, there was a post here as well.
