Metal Studded Snow/ Ice Spiked Bicycle Tires for Bike Commuting and Bicycle Touring on Slick Roads

Schwalbe Ice Spiker Winter Studded Tire 26" x 2.10

As the snow begins the fall and the ice accumulates on the ground we start to see less people on the road and more trainers coming out of storage.  Before you think about jumping on the iron horse and staring at the 2006 Tour video you watched 30 times last year, think about picking up a pair of the Schwalbe Ice Spikers studded winter tires and riding in the winter conditions.  The 304 spikes keep you glued to the road or trail through the corners, and they are constructed of steel so you know they will last.

**Tires must be run-in for 25 miles on a hard surface to set the spikes in place.
