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!

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.

The carpet mats work also...

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.
