It’s protecting the inner-tube from rubbing against the screw heads of my DIY studs. Did the same thing last year and it worked great.

    They don’t really help much with snow.

    But they are essential equipment when you live in a region that regularly has iced roads, especially during early morning commute.

      Yeah, on compacted snow a knobby fat tire with low pressure has almost the same traction than it does on dirt. I only switch to studs in the early spring when the conditions get icy.
