The Ford Barn - View Single Post - What is driving an A on snow/ice like? Can you add studs to A tyres?

I think you would have a hard time finding a shop that would still install studs. You can only safely (and legally) stud a brand new tire. You never stud a tire that has wear. Around here, in southern Connecticut, they pretreat the roads and plow really quick. It is hard to get to the snow before the road is clear. I drive my Model A year round, and she is fine in the snow. I do have chains for it but have only mounted them once or twice.
