Default Would this work?

Ok i want to make my 4x4 stampede get more traction in the snow that were suppose to be getting. And if we do get all this snow, will zip ties work? Ya, ya i know chains would work better but im just trying to use my resources. So has anyone ever used zip ties and wrapped them around you tires instead of chains? If so did they give it any more traction at all?

put nitro fuel tubing over the zip ties where they lay over the tires.
if you just use a zip tie, it wont be thick enough to act like a tread or paddle.

just get some nice long zip ties(not to thick or they wont fit inside the fuel tubing) and 2-4 feet of fuel line. shouldnt cost more than $5 at a hobby shop.

Last year I used zip-ties and it worked better with them. I just put the end part in the middle of the tire. Just don't over-tighten them, and evenly space them.
