Are tyres classed as ‘winter’ with metal studs of any use on frosty/icy tarmac roads or intended more for packed snow/ice?
Considered putting them on my old mtb for the early morning commutes when the road sparkles but suspect they’re something of a gimmick?
They most definitely work on tarmac when conditions call for them, I mostly rode them in Sweden though. You'll need to bed the spikes properly first to avoid losing them.
Ah ok, any stud bedding tips for a stud riding novice?
