    They're just Michelin all seasons.........with $700 worth of studs. We don't know how these are going to work yet. They'll either be spectacular, or explode, injuring bystanders and competing cars.

    Lake Cynthia in Prior Lake, south of me about 25 minutes. Should be a blast! Here's the tires mounted back up and filled with slime.

    This was a total blast , and the carbide studded tires were phenomenal, what a hoot. We have quite a bit of Go-Pro footage to weed through, I'll try to post some up as soon as I can. I could not believe how fast this car was on the ice, and even more impressive was the braking. We were lapping those poor quattro cars left and right.

    There were some people out there running those tires (Menards), but with our stud setup, there was no oversteer, or understeer. It was scary the kind of grip this thing had turning corners. We were actually lifting the inside tire in the turns.

    Here's a quick video. I'll have to see what else he was able to get off of the Go-Pro.
