Saw way more badass looking tires for rolling on snow and ice on reddit and had to come back to share it https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/lpv5ob/snow_tyre_naah/ - maybe somebody could find a 1 meter diameter rotary burr and put it on the back of a motorcycle, next?

Remember the boat with the sawblade at the back?
