Part 3
In addition to the siping, I installed 500 (125 per tire) Grip Studs because the ice is just so bad around here. I've tried them on another set of tires and am very happy. Last spring, I removed them to re-install this season on the new Procomps. Removal leaves a little mark on the tire but nothing I'm worried about.
Got about 6" of fresh, sticky snow today, and the tires are just awesome... I'm thinking even better than dedicated snow tires in these conditions because of the extra space between lugs. So I'm calling my experiment a huge success for now.
