you shouldnīt have to worry at all about the side hills. I have had a lot of questions about this. And I always find the best answear (after trying to explain for a while  :tantrum:)  It just works.

If you think about it like that. The forward motion is without a doubt good and if you are so unlucky finding the truck sliding in a side hill. the rear end usually finds it way lower earlyer than the front and then you have that perfect traction again...  also the directional treads are shaped like a v vorking towards the center of the tire... so what basicly happens is that that v gets filled up with snow and makes a good traction..... Itīs hard to explain..... It just works

The only thing wrong with these tires is that itīs hard to cut them so the tire flexes more without destoing the grip so basicly that tels us that itīs a good design The only thing I am thinking about doing is to cut the space between the treads making it more open, and adding some nails. for the winter
