I go along highways rather frequently, and during the icy and snowy winter months, rubber cannot be replaced. In general, people have the impression that they have a confident grip no matter what road they are driving on, whether it is snow or ice. When the road starts to thaw through the slush, it is not scared of hydroplaning well. Hydroplaning is not fearful of hydroplaning. When driving at high speeds and switching lanes, there is never a sense that the automobile is about to be thrown off the road. The spikes are holding fast in their positions!
