I used to ride Finns, but my coworkers persuaded me to convert to their "religion," which involves intentionally drowning in the bridge. Last winter I tried out spikes, and I really enjoyed how they made my feet feel. In addition, the ice grip was highly regarded by the lads, and I feel it's important to emphasize this. Instead of a crossover, I opted for an SUV, and the cost was about what I had anticipated. The rubber is durable, the reinforcement is visible for heavyweights, and the spikes are securely fastened. I'm happy with my buy.
