> Completely agree. The Akita has a narrow gap (4.35mm), which makes snow tires even grabbier. I find flowable silicone helps the performance of any snow tire yoyo. But, recessed (which I don’t normally do) silicone on the Akita was a game changer. It went from being a good throw to one of my absolute favorites.
