Crazy tire idea

Mackin ... I don't know what your problem is, but quit being a douche bag. I am referring to a tire like a Blizzak. Here I will show you what I mean: this is the tire type that I am referring to, and to which I thought Josh was referring.

So, like Josh said, NOT you, but Josh referred to the Blizzak. Soooo, quit being a know it all. I was not referring to an aggressive AT or MUD tire that you are referring to. There is a huge difference between a winter tire and a tire that will dig through deep snow. Did you read the part of my post that said "<1' "? In case you can't read that is LESS THAN ONE FOOT.
The purpose for the siping on the winter tire is exact. Snow HELO INSIDE the siping causes more friction on packed snow. They are not made to throw snow out of them. More friction equals more traction. Being from Connecticut I figured you would know something about snow and driving on it, apparently I was wrong about your knowledge. Furthermore, you seem to disagree with me, just because I disagreed with you one time in another thread. Its getting old being a contestant around you.
For your information I would just as soon kick you in the nuts and spit on you as to reply in any thread you couldn't keep your know it all attitude out of (which isn't very many).
So here's to you, :2birds:
I dont know,Snow tires or a little larger lug would also give a little less contact path and sshwin (Ben) and i were watching trucks with larger lug tires take off and spin at the starting line and they were cleaning the track prep off the track,big motored gassers would come up and spin badly off the line and it took a few cars running to get the track sticky again.I run blizzacks every winter and they are squirmy on the road.I wouldnt want to be running them on the tracl over 100mph JMO.
A snow tire has a pretty soft tread. When you launch a heavy truck it hops and bucks all over the place. You would be better off with an A/T in my opinion.
Im not sure i watched a TV show one time and they said you make it out of coco leaves and crush them and dry them or something

I like that kind.....it smells good

Contestant?
Dam Boy who knew you were hindering some type of grudge or panties in a bunch with me I don't even recall ever having any conflict or "disagreement" in some other thread ,this thread or any thread for that matter. Are you following me around here? :rofl:
I seriously have NO clue.
I thought we were grown ups,don't be a baby and resolve to threats of violence! PHUCK YOU TOO!
I never proclaim to know anything other than NOW that you are a douche bag when I don't know you except you have proclaimed we have a outstanding issue.
There was NO mention of brand, type of tread design and since I am from CT I know that the only good snow tire is a aggressive tread design to get the job done. Now that Josh cleared that up with what tire he was looking at I understood what he was getting at and clearly said just that.
See smart ass? Go back and read the succession of this thread and he would have said a Blizzac then I would of understood what type of tire he was looking at.
If your satisfied with your cheap ass Town Fair Tire Mastercraft tire I'm happy for you,ok not really since your a douche bad with the rag on for me.
Who knew!
Since you are the self proclaimed 'expert' on snow tires I yield and ask EVERYONE to pay close attention to what you have to offer on this subject and any other future items of your 'expertness' as you are The Man!
Sorry for raining on your parade. Maybe you should lay off the Blue Ribbon. Your attempt at intimidation is lame,unwarranted and ridiculous.
Stop stalking me
=========================
Josh I'm truly sorry for your thread getting mucked up. If I knew this BOY had a hair across his ass for me I never would have responded.
Funny I thought the same thing,kinda, when I read your response this AM. Aww dordtrecht5 doesn't like me ,can't read, has resorted to name calling and would rather spit (childish) and kick me in the nuts over a snow tire. When I made a little joke about slicks in the winter! :roflmao:
PM me your address and I'll send you a 30 pack of Blue Ribbon ,a gift certificate to Taco Bell and a shoe horn to get your pantie wedge out of your ass as a peace offering. :roflmao:
Tire guys opinion and experience:
I don't think Snow tires would work very well for warm traction. They are a specially designed compound with a higher percentage of synthetic rubber. They are made specifically to not harden at winter temps.
As for the lugs they make them open shoulder for a reason, to shed snow. Not to hold it in. Solid shoulder holds snow. Siping is great for asphalt, dirt, ice/snow traction. It spreads out which makes for a larger contact area.
OP, I don;t think snow tires would work very well. Too much flex too many voids in the tire. For asphalt traction you want the most tread as possible on the ground, which is why I think 420's are the cats ass. When I raced dirt track and the track would go dry slick or "blue groove" when a lot of rubber got laid down we would throw on the tires with the least grooves, almost slicks that we siped. They gave the most forward bite. People would groove their tires and just go backwords.
Hope it makes sense

The only way you might get some benefit is if you had some winter tires that were worn down so they were slick, and then you would likely be unsafe.
I'm running winter rubber and I can tell you they do NOT hook up on pavement. It's like trying to get traction with a push broom.

I think you've got it.
The siping traps snow. rubber doesn't grip snow so well. other snow grips snow pretty well
