Ok homies...
How many you guys are stuggler winter and ice??
Well, here is how i do deal the ice and snow..
My tires were hostile mxt, but you can use also hostile mx and minipin tires and proline bowtie tires, well, these i have used.
First you need to drill hole on the tire, 4mm drill is good.
Image
And DO drill the hole center of the knob..
Turn the tire up side donwn ,and start to drill the metal sheet screws in to the tire, with those holes you did drilled just before.
Image
Be gently, low rpms.

I used 13mm metal sheet screws.

Image
In front in the middle i used only one and second know gets the screw.
On the rear, i used all the knobs, so there is in every know this very sharp screw.
Image
And do remember, on the front tires do it as zigzag
This is the best way you can get the grip on the ice.. :rock2: :rock2: :rock2:

On pure ice nothing works properly unless its a 4wd car.....

I made almost the same, but I used the ones with drill-tip for metal since they are hardened, but they were far from hard enough anyway.
On packed snow in the other hand, this works great !
But so does Koldkutters ;)
