Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It is my first winter tire with metal spikes and I am really impressed by it. Grip on ice and compacted snow is just incredible. Same about soil and rocks, however, you should note one issue: sudden and keen braking on any solid surface; like rocks, compacted ground, asphalt can easily get your bike out of control unless you take enough care, more then on regular tires. I noticed that braking path became longer as well. Be aware of its noise. As I said, I never rode metal spikes before and if neither you did, then expect everyone starring at you trying to understand where this metal knocking sound comes from. Also, bike roll becomes just terrible. You ll notice how much more effort you need to climb, but this is quite understandable due to nature of this tire
I suspect (however I cannot say for sure) these tires might have problems with durability. I lost two spikes at rear and 1 at front tire just after 2 weeks of moderate cycling. Tire walls are extremely thin ( probably, tribute to weight winning ) so they look quite unreliable, particularly if you try to lower pressures
Overall I rate this product 5 stars, because it drives just crazy. I rode my bike on such steep side slopes, I never dared before. Grip feels just unlimited
