    Decent Tire at a Good price

    I bought these to do some winter riding through the city on my Specialized Turbo Vado. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, we didn't get the normal amount of expected snow so I wasn't able to give these tires a real good test on snowy and icy roads. I did catch a few spots on paved city trails with snow and they seem to do OK. Having never ridden on studded knobby tires on paved surfaces I didn't know what to expect but they do not inspire confidence through corners at speed but that's prob not any fault of this particular tire but just what you can expect of this style of tire on pavement. Still, I think they were a good value and am looking forward to give them more of a test in the future.

    Awesome Traction

    Just got these and put them on my electric assist before our first winter storm. Rode 14 km home at 35 kph on mixed terrain and around 5-10 cm of snow. These performed perfectly through the snow, some ice and dry and wet pavement. Way better than the Ice Spiker from Schwalbe I had for the past 2 winters. Great traction accelerating and braking, amazing on corners.

    Quite good for the purpose

    This is my first studded bike tire. I purchased it because I had ridden a couple of times in the early winter on the original mountain bike tire that came on my hard tail and experienced a couple of near slide-outs with my front tire. I decided that it would be an necessary upgrade to invest in a studded tire for my front, to avoid any such slide-out when on sidewalk or anywhere near vehicle traffic. I believe that anyone who rides on sidewalk/pavement in an area that experiences snow/ice should invest in a studded tire. I have found that having the studded tire gives me a boost in confidence when riding through that uncertain conditions of winter. I plan to purchase a second tire, for the rear, in the coming weeks.

    Just the ticket

    If you have a set of 650b wheels this is a combo that almost gets you into semi-fat-bike width for winter riding, very aggresive tread and studding, plush ride, no problems fitting the 2.1 width into my gbike fork and stays. Wish they were cheaper but pay-to-play.

    Works great on my Trek ebike for winter commutes

    This tires grips really well in all winter conditions thus far. Happy it is working with my ebike-still plenty of clearance for fenders, thankfully.
