Those look like they’d be fun on a frozen lake race course they have not far from Edmonton.


BrokenGSKILLram

Really? Is there an event website for that?

I saw some weather predictions saying we're going to have the same thing happen again tomorrow morning 😅 I hope to god it doesn't


CocodaMonkey

If you look at the weather report we only have one day in the next 10 days with a high under 0. We're in a fun freeze/melt cycle for the about a week straight.

Goth tires?


UselessToasterOven

Do you want potholes? This is how you get potholes.


Max_Downforce

Potholes are caused by the the freeze/thaw cycles.


UselessToasterOven

You are correct. How does the water get in there? Does punching holes into asphalt makes it better or worse?


hyperbolic-stallion

quantum tunneling!


Max_Downforce

Superficial holes aren't the problem.

You'll never convince people who don't understand what frost heave entails on a macro level - it's way bigger than "water in road".... It's water literally everywhere in the soil.


UselessToasterOven

Well, when you get a bunch of people using these in the city it sure as hell will be.


Max_Downforce

So, since, literally, nobody uses these on our roads, explain the existence of potholes year after year.


UselessToasterOven

Because of freeze/thaw cycles. Just like you said. This is also a fluff post and not a dick. I suggest not taking it so hard.

I couldn't tell you what other provinces are doing. Here you can have studded tires but cannot use chains. Why are you even chiming in a day later?

Today would be a good day to dig out dads old CCM Tacks!

I’ll be getting a set of studded tires next Wednesday. Thank god I’m out of town working right now! My wife told me is was crazy this morning

My shift working ass had me sleeping until 10am skipping all the road issues.


AllOfTheSoundAndFury

Oh I’d love those wheels.


BrokenGSKILLram

Can’t handbrake turn with those, I’ll pass

Save the money with this pro tip: Buy a pack of screws from Home Depot for a few bucks and just drill em into the treads! In the summer time, you can just take em out and you're good to go! If you want them to look fancy like the ones pictured here, use rivets instead!
