All the "No Lugs allowed" signs here get immediately modified with an S
prayed in front of the L.

We drove down our township maintained dirt road with snap track chains on,
but it was a slow bumpy ride. The lugs only snapped out under wheel spin so
they stayed flat on hard dirt. Our township spread steel mill slag
periodically.

I remember "No Lugs" signs in an adjacent county.

[Phil Auten] I am old enough to remember the "NO LUGS ALLOWED" (or similar)
posted on most rural highways.

[James] This article discusses lugged wheels but does not discuss a
reasonable alternative:; Having a set of bolt on cleats for show and a set
of bolt on rubber pads for go. Battery powered impact wrenches such as those
sold under the Milwaukee and DeWalt brands would allow unbolting one set and
bolting on the other in minutes.
