I've actually heard those are pretty nice, my Dunlop Graspic's have done fine for me the last two years. This morning was nuts going to the airport, I plowed the road myself.

Why too much work? They seem easy enough. Good invention!

Not a bad idea, but seems kind of a hassle to take off when the asphalt is visible again, plus I'm sure they get really dirty in a hurry. I guess it's a cheap way out of snow tires, but dedicated snows are definitely a better way to go if you're in the snow belt.

I few years ago I seriously considered buying an "Autosuck" for those long lonely drives but at the time, my car didn't have a convenient 12v outlet.
