Winter Tires are a MUST in Alaska!

I had some real trouble driving in the icy conditions today on the all-terrain tires, so it's time for the studded snows to get installed. Learn how!

Stay safe out there!

I've used non-studded Hakkapeliittas in the past, and they do work well.
I'm curious...
Down here in the lower 48, where I never really lived north of Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, PA and NY, I find that A/T and M/T tires work really well in the snow, but it rarely gets under 0 F at those latitudes. I don't know if the rubber would get too hard in AK. What's your experience there?

My BFG KO2s were hard as a rock and very very unsafe once it got into single digits. They're otherwise great tires, but not in the winter!
