Tires Instead of chains. Maxigrip Screw in tires studs.?

I just came in from clearing snow throughout my park...temp is sitting at just the freezing mark....road surface is snow covered, slippery with heavy snow....not the slightest slip either up or down the grade:thumbsup:

I think if your rip out a stud out a hunk of tire gets ripped out with it. That's the way it worked for me anyway.

That would be my concern. Studded tires in an auto are to give it grip to go down the road, there's not much resistance. A tractor which is going to be pushing snow is going to be stressing the studs.

To each their own, but I'll stick with my chains.
