You look at xIce compared to its previous generations and they're trash. Hakka's are locked up by Kal Tire so they cost so God Damn much I don't care how good they are and I resent Kal making a trillion off me if I bought them. Plus now you hear^ they're getting weaker.
iPikes were all talk & no action - the ones I had on the front were so bad they'd lock and my old S-Class would push me from the back into a curb at idle.
Just. Buy. Blizzaks.
Studded tires are for Iqaluit. Sure, you can buy them here for the 0.5 days/year they're needed while the rest of the time you're going deaf and shaking the fillings out of your teeth. It's silly.
