winter/snow studded tyres on 700c?

I have used them in the past on a mtb but they had been like 2-3inch thick. Has anyone used 700c-30mm ones?

When this years snow day comes I hope it's epic and nobody can drive so I get some serious miles in cyclocross style but they might be really useless.

If it helps I'm looking at these to shove on the pompino.

The 30mm should be ok - but needs snow/ice to perform better than a 23c on wet tarmac.

I was looking at a pair myself, but it's one of those things... you buy them and it doesn't snow for ten years

@ugosantalucia you can borrow my ones april-september.

I was thinking the same but I have given up hiding bike stuff so they will just live in a corner till the day comes, hopefully they fold that would be even better.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
