    Use, those ^^ are generally intended for off-road use. They work well to grab tree roots and buried rocks for traction assistance on log roads, in wet or icy conditions. Even necessary sometimes in extreme angle climbs on dry, dirt conditions when there are buried things to grab on to.

    I used to live in Portland and would loathe driving my car on the highway after it snowed because of all the pebbles flying everywhere. I would literally stay off the freeway for a week until all the pebbles got washed over to the shoulder. Used to piss me off.
