Excellent wheels and tires! During the winter of the previous year, my wife got a Spike-02 installed, and it works wonderfully both on the ground and when parked in the mud in the yard. We put it through some rigorous testing with a strong brake, and it didn't become hot at all! Only one of the tires' spikes ever came loose over the entire season, which is an astonishingly low rate for these kinds of tires. This year I decided to get a set of SUVs for my SUV, and yesterday I finally got around to installing it; it has the same general feel.
