They are round in shape, black in color, and studded!

I guess what I really want to know is do they work? I would like to put them on a rear wheel drive car. Is it worth it?

I used to run a set on a 2WD pickup years ago. Can't really say if they helped or not because I also put a bunch of weight in the bed at the same time.

Studded snow tires on a 2wd car can outperform a 4wd with normal tires on ice and hard pack snow (or a layer of ice under the snow). A buddy has used studded tires several times on a rear wheel drive car and is a believer in them.

They help a great deal, but I honestly dont believe we get enough snow to justify buying a set of snow tires. let alone studded ones. Driving around on snowless pavement burns them up in a hurry.

I currently have 4 80lb bags of concrete in the trunk. I don't like hauling around the weigh if I don't need it

Many people at my old job ran specialty snow tires (like Blizzaks). They would usually have them on about 3-4 months a year and they would last for several years. Of course a lot of these guys had some sort of high performance tires on during the summer that absolutely sucked in the winter so the choice is easier.
Studded tires are a step further and you may not be able to justify them. My friend who runs them lives about 5 miles down a hilly gravel road in BFE. The paved roads in civilization may only be snow covered for a day or two but his road may be packed snow and ice for weeks at a time. |
