Perfect urban commuters
These studded tires have less rolling resistance than the mtb tires I was using for winter commuting before them. It took a couple trips but the studs are now settled in and relatively quiet. I ride 99% on dry pavement and don't notice them! I really appreciate the puncture resistance (mtb tires are glass sponges), and the reflective sidewall for safety. Have only used them a few weeks so can't speak to durability, but I love these Schwalbes so far.
I Love These Winter Tires
I have been bike commuting for about 4 months 2,000 miles. I really wanted to keep going through the winter but my stock tires did not provide any traction on icy conditions. With these winter tires, traction is greatly improved. Over smooth ice you will feel very confident. In soft snow the bike will press down and give a good grip. Sometimes there are frozen tire tracks from cars which will will pull your bike along like a train on tracks. This was downright scary with my stock tires. Now I feel a bit uneasy but it is manageable. Noise: they aren’t as quiet as the stock tires but you could use them all year if you wanted to. On pavement I would compare the noise as cracking of a fire or a bowl of rice cereal haha. It really doesn’t bother me. On ice they are quieter. When you go through snow they are perfectly quiet. Shipping: they arrived one day sooner than expected which was great. I was disappointed that REI charged me two $60 oversized package charges even though both tires fit in one box. Installing: I installed these myself with little difficulty. Just take note of the arrows that indicate the rotation of the tires. My stock tires were 28” and these are 29” but they fit perfectly on my Gazelle T10 ebike (See picture)
Absolutely incredible
I wish I had gotten these years ago for my winter commute in Boston. The traction I get during a snowstorm or over black ice is way more than I expected. Since they see only winter use and show little to no wear after this season I expect them to last a while like my regular non-studded marathons always do.
