Winter tires, studs...
Has anyone ever tried the new tires with steel wire embedded into the tread.
It runs perpendicular to the steel belts and as the tire wears it keep
protruding through. Also there are some new tires with some sort of diamond
grit substance embedded into the tread. How do either of these compare to
studed winter tires .

I have a new set of Yokohama Geolander I/T+ tires that are phenominal.
They aren't quite as good as studs on glare ice, but they stick like
glue in all other situations during severe winter driving. I strongly
recommend them. They sure beat my siped MT/Rs.

The diamond like substance is silica, or purified common sand.
The advantage of both of these is that they can be run at higher
speed than a studded, with a bit of superhardcore traction loss
at very low speed compared to studs--which is why chains will
fit over them.

Still a Raiders fan, but no longer sure why.
