Back when I first got the El Camino it still had the peg leg, open differential. It was horrible in any snow. I bought two used wheels from a salvage yard, and some new snow tires. It made a huge difference in the one snow we had. Then we went for several years, and no snow at all. I called the snow tires my anti-snow tires. I dutifully changed them every year until they were down to the wear bars. I told all my co-workers I was taking up a collection to buy more snow tires. No one was willing to donate any money towards them. I had put in a limited slip or "positraction" rear end by then. I have not used snow tires since. No real need around here.
Right after I had the snow tires unmounted from the wheels is snowed. I told all my co-workers to pony up, and I will get new snow repellent tires. No one wanted to pay up. So all of them had to drive through the several snows we had. I warned them.
