This weekend, I got my new snow tires installed, and the salesman selling them asked me which brand I preferred. I told him if he knew the brand that was used on the ice cleaning vehicles at the arenas in OHL rinks, I'd go for that type of tire. My reasoning was that I've often seen them perform on the ice, with good traction, and no skidding, so why wouldn't they perform as well on the roads. He didn't know which tires are used on those units. I'm wondering if any of you know ?
If it's normal tire with a specific brand name, maybe they should consider making a TV commercial featuring their unique abilities on ice. Maybe Dave Branch could even milk some sponsorship bucks from them...." Official Traction Tire of the OHL" or "When you expect superior traction and stopping ability on ice, get Brand OHL"
What do you think ? Is this a marketing opportunity, or are these tires unique to those machines, and not available for sale to the general public ?
