Why Nissan rubber floor mats

Besides the deep groves that hold tons of water and mud, here's another reason to get the rubber floor mats. They make awesome traction devices in the snow!

Really?
I would have thought that they would be a big frisbee.
(well true be told I would not have thought of using them :) )

Nope. Lots of those rubber needles on the bottom side, and rubber on rubber can be pretty grabby. We used them a couple of times.

... as we found out, but they look nasty after your tire spits them out a few times

Actually no. I just slipped into a rut and lost my momentum. I backed down the hill, got my speed back and plowed right through it. The stuck spot was actually in a pretty flat area. On the hills you could always use gravity to back out. The deep flatter areas just made nice icy holes to get stuck in.
