Hi everyone! There are some neat homemade studded tires in here, I enjoyed looking at pictures.

I'm from Florida, recently transplanted to Klamath Falls, OR. I'm really nervous about the coming winter, but equally wishing to prove every person who keeps telling me I can't keep ride my bike in winter wrong. I'm definitely going to need different tires, though, mine are sort of flat with no real tread. The bike shop said I'd want cyclocross tires to get the knobbies.

A search for cyclocross gave me Kenda161 tires for $11.99 (or normally $14.99). Price is super important at the moment as we're pretty broke. Would these be good tires to use for winter alone? And if needed, could I stud these- are those knobs big enough? It's hard to tell with a picture, but it looks like the tallest tread is in the middle.

If not, I'd be happy to take suggestions or advice. Thanks
