Heres an example of one in a spray can:

Here's an example of the kind you would paint on:

Thanks man. I'm going to be researching for me to do this in the upcoming summer.

With a set if michy ap4 I was able to climb forest roads so steep that I got scared and reversed down.
Only cuz I was a puss and didn't want to come down something so steep with my front end looking down on it

I have an 03 Evo 8, with General Arctic Altimax tires, and this setup has been absolutely amazing on this car. I have no problems in snow whatsoever. And I'm not talking a couple inches of snow, I'm talking like a foot of snow, it still has no issues powering through it. Its basically like driving a 4wd truck in the snow, but a lot more fun

haha. I am pretty used to snow though as I'm in Michigan (and grew up in the upper peninsula of Michigan), but nonetheless, with snow tires, these things are unstoppable.
