Wow, that's an old idea, they used them back in the 50's and 60's.

I used "Walnut Shell" tires on my old VW van way back in the mid 1970's when I lived in Spokane Washington and they work great on ice and snow..

They cost $10 per tire which included mounting and balancing.. and lasted over two years..

Wish I could find them around here for that price... I would put them on my '07 KIA for this winter...

TWO CENTS WORTH
The story goes that a man died and was approached by the Devil who told him that he could buy his soul back for a dollar. The man searched his pockets and could only come up with 98 cent. While begging the Devil to forget the two cent he was short, an Angel happened by and hearing the Devil laughing, asked the man, "Would you mind if I put in my two cents ?" The Devil got so mad that he exploded in a puff of smoke and the man's soul was saved.
The moral: Sometimes putting in your two cents worth makes a difference.
JOHN "the cook" 1997
