It's hard to make fun of them when they were driving a 1500 lb steel box on what are essentially bicycle tires, hah. I imagine they have no grip whatsoever
Bicycle tires with round nubbin tread! It looks like they're just about bald too, which I'm sure didn't help
I wonder if there's a way to bring that tread style to the modern world, it looks really interesting compared to what we have now (minus the baldness)
So they were aware of the icy conditions and applied chains on 2 (3?) of the tires. I wonder what's the story behind the rest not being covered (in case of the obvious "no more chain" scenario, what was the idea behind the diagonal alignment).
