Cheers for the link.
I was aware of the problem with only having central studs. Should'nt be such a problem for my use, but was considering the 240 version for the front (the snow plough often leaves slushy tractor tracks which freeze overnight).
This made me laugh (in an ironic manner)
"Avoid the ones sold under the Innova brand, cheap with soft steel studs. They suck. I've seen the studs on other peoples bikes wear down into the tire after only a few blocks on pavement. They suck, he adds again for emphasis"
They're the ones I have now! I would add that not only are the studs bloody soft, but the rubber is bloody hard too. It gives shite grip on frosty roads.
