Re: I-5 rutts 700 '89

There has been some controversy regarding studs and highway wear.

Many people were under the illusion that studs were illegal in most Canadian provinces - actually they are only illegal in Ontario.

Usage of studded tires is in the minority of drivers, the rutting on the highways is caused by displacement of asphalt particles(tar and fine pebbles) by the constant pressure exerted by the tires of vehicles, in particular the big rigs.

Check out any local road where heavy trucks are not alowed, then compare with a heavy truck route.

In wet weather it is better to shift over slightly to the right so that your tires are not riding in the "trough" of water on the road at highway speeds.

Happy winter in a Volvo
