Then your "answer" is clearly wrong.

use these on the back outside drives when you get stuck in one of those docks that are lower at the back than the front, or on a frozen puddle in a parking lot when you're trying to get under a trailer.

I didn't GIVE an answer. I posed a question. A question cannot BE wrong.
You GET no extra credit. More importantly, I have yet to hear an answer concerning why eastern snow is wetter than western snow. Whazza matter? Something not covered by google? I haven't checked, but I'm SURE it should be.

You posed a question to which you obviously have your answer already in mind. Since the correct answer takes the things I stated previously into consideration, and you claim those things are irrelevant, then your answer is clearly wrong.
Plus, I already did the test with my calibrated laser thermometer, and got several different answers, depending upon the various factors involved, all of which I already stated would impact the answer.

I already gave you an answer. If, for some reason, you'd like to hear it, I suggest you read it aloud, or have someone with better comprehension skills than yourself read it to you.:thumbsup:

Cool idea vavega! If I would have had that setup, I wouldn't have been sitting at a Kokomo gas station on New Year's eve waiting for a push for a couple of hours.:bow::bow:

Unfortunately TOM...Only on dry road surface where traction is about equal at both axles will an OPEN CARRIER supply nearly identical torque to both axle shafts...And on surfaces where traction isfar from equal you will be spinning the wheel with the least traction ...This is FACT ,and wh mostl off road use vehicles have either a locking type carrier or spool...
For an exmple of this bias just look at what happens when driver goes over bump making a turn at low speed and his wheels are crossed up one wheel firmy planted on the ground the other only lightly toughing...AND SPINNING while the tire with firm contact does nothing but sit still ...OPEN CARRIERS only have equal bias when traction is equal at at both wheels open carries allow bias on turns so wheels cn spin freely at different rates unlike a locked carrier that makes torques bias zero-none which ensures torque output to both axle shafts on sufaces other than DRY PAVEMENT ,but asa negative will not let tires turn different rates ,which causes bind and can result in slipping in corners and ...UNDERSTEER...

As anyone who has stayed at the Petro in Sturtevant, WI in the dead of winter knows, sometimes the conventional methods don't work. I've seen guys use entire bags of cat litter trying to get unstuck from uneven ice.

I carried chains , which would be easier to use than making a set at a dock, which woud require you to find chains...nuts , And bolts...to make , which will probably be an unlikely find ...But I own my own chains ,and carry atleast 2 sets year round...I keep them in the summer for soft soil stucks in dirt drop yards .

Good for you. That has absolutely nothing to do with cat litter or Clorox.
