Remember snow tires with metal studs?</font>
I had a rental in Finland only last week that had studded tyres, as apparently required there by law in snowy conditions.

This was an improvement on renting in the Alps some years ago where chains were supplied. Zero instruction about putting them on though. First snowy steep hill, half an hour messing about with the chains, let the clutch out and the chain wrapped itself tightly round the back axle. End of rental!
