People often ask us about studded tires for winter cycling.
Studs give dramatic improvements in handling and stability when riding on ice and hard-packed snow.
The studded tires we've tried in the past all have had serious shortcomings. Nokian of Finland makes studded tires that have none of these problems. The studs are embedded in the lugs and don't project through the tire, so you don't have to take special measures to protect the tubes. The casings and treads are sturdy and built to last. These are serious tires.
