Perfect for winter riding in mixed conditions
I'm so glad to see REI carrying these! Studless snow tires are extremely rare. The only other non-fat ones I've ever seen are 45nrth's Latkat, which I've never tried. I've used these for years though, I used to buy them at Turin Bikes (RIP) in Denver. They're really the perfect tire for getting around the CO Front Range in winter, where a typical ride might see 3 miles of clean dry pavement, followed by a mile of half-frozen slush, followed by a mile of pavement that's perfectly clear except for the big patches of ice every 30 feet. They're only a little slower than a road commuter tire, and give almost as much grip as studs on snow. These won't beat studs on smooth ice of course, so you gotta take corners a little easy, but they're WAY lighter and faster than studded tires, and you don't have to listen to your studs grinding down to nothing on mile after mile of dry road. Not to mention studs give terrible traction on clean pavement. These tires are also super soft, definitely designed to grip in cold weather when regular tires get hard and slick, so if you keep them on your bike all winter and ride when it's 50° or 60° out they might only last one season. Totally worth it though, and if you swap them out when the weather's nice or just ride a different bike, they can last for years.
