Hi All- I was pretty frustrated when I kept reading that cables, chains, and flex-trak wouldn't work for the Mazda 3 driving in the snow (due to the low wheel clearance). I didn't want to buy snow tires because I don't drive up to the snow that often and quite frankly, I'm lazy, I'm not going to go change out (or pay someone to change out) my tires everytime I want to drive up to the snow.

All to say, I'm very happy to report that Spider Spikes work great! They are easy to put on and there is no issue with the wheel clearance. Yay! Finally!

I went with the replacement lug nut version of the Spider Spikes rather than the fix clip. Also, Scott at Spider Spike was super duper helpful.

Happy adventuring!
