I commuted all winter last year and we had unbelieveable snow and ice here. I can't say enough good things about Schwable Winter Marathons hs 396 tires.

They are studs and are awesome on solid ice. I could actually do better riding on these than walking on ice. lol.

I have some ordered for my new commuter bike and can't wait. We usually have hardly any snow here in the midwest but last year we had a storm at least once a week.

The hardest place to ride was on unplowed streets that cars had been on but ice and icey snow they worked great.
