45NrthKahva 29" Studded Commuter Tire(Return to Product Page)

I live in Chicagoland and I can usually ride much of our winters. This one became particularly snowy/icy in January and I had to find a safe way to get back out there. These studded tires made the difference. They provide excellent grip on the ice and hard pack snow. These are not a good option for soft snow, fyi; I tried. I was worried about going back and forth between roads and snow/ice and the impact it might have on the stud sharpness and grip. It's only been a couple of months now, but, so far very good on that front. I would recommend these as a way to do some additional outdoor winter riding in otherwise challenging conditions.

Haven't been able to really try these out. No snow or ice in Boise. They took a few days to really seat and hold air. I'm sure they would be stellar in the snow and ice.....if we ever get any.

These are by far the best tires I've ever seen or used.
