The tread isn't 'melted' per se, but instead it is kinda picked apart by the spikes on the tractionizer drums (the end result does appear melted, I suppose). On ice, they are untouchable.

I'll agree with Mark (my old man). If you can afford to go through lots of snow tires in a season, tractionizing is the way to go. They hook up amazingly well (especially with 15psi in the tires Grin

). It basically feels like driving on gravel. We used them on our ice racer, and did really well.

The only bad side is the obvious wear issue. If the tires are only used for the rallies though, I'd consider it.
