Re: some winter driving sense

that really depends on the type of roads that you are driving on, your tires, and what not.

with pickups I like to take 2 - 2x6 boards cut long enough to go from 1 box side to the other, then I place 1 in front of, and 1 in back of the wheel wells.

Then I use wire, or more boards, or just about anything to hold them together, place some screen in here, and fill it up with 1/2" rocks (not gravel)
These rocks never seem to freeze together so when I need the extra traction I just take a shovel full and throw it under my tires.

I just throw around 50 shovels full of rocks to start with, and if I need more I just go grab more.

The road department in your area should know where the rocks that I use are located, and they are the same ones that they use in new ashphalt.
