Because they don't need them. I grew up in Yellowknife and used to hunt near those ice roads in season 1. The show is way more dramatic than the actual job of hauling shit. Also it would cost a ton of money to outfit all the trucks with studded tires for the 2-3 months they are on the iceroads. Does anyone actually make studded transport tires? I doubt it but don't know for sure. And they all have chains if required but they are not used often.
