    Are snowflake wheels considered traction wheels?

    They aren't snow tires, but they are 3 peak rated.
    Most States (Colorado & Utah at least) count 3 peak rated tires as acceptable for "traction device weather" - you still have to have chains/cables in your vehicle as a backup though.

    Yeah, but the post I was responding to was about factory snowflake wheels.

    I've never heard the term traction wheel. What does that mean?
