Winter and Cyclocross tyres / tires

Shit dude. Real expensive indeed! $150 minus shipping for 100 of the smallest ones? Makes for a pricey set of tyres! You must be able to ride up the side of buildings with those bad boys.

I used them for a special project. I wanted a studded 4.7" fat tyre. I knew a studded fat tyre was in the works at 45NRTH. But guessed (correctly) that would be 3.7". So the expense was worth it to me, to get exactly what I wanted.

Steel carbide is fecking abrasion resistant. So they will last, and reports so far is that they resist beng plled out far better than factory installed studs.

But yeah. They aint cheap.

Factory studded tyres are cheaper. Nokian, Conti, and Schwalb use carbide, and softer rubber. I would strongly recommend steering clear of cheap innova studded tyres. The steel is shite, as is the rubber. I caused more expense in bike damage, than I had saved by buying them within weeks of owning them. utter shite.
