I did one trip in a snowstorm on a MTB with soft studded snows riding on the sidewalk and the saturday oneway took 2 hours. going home I pumped the tires and rode on the roads. that was the last time I took the tank out in the snow. I made the tank for the worst days but wound up never using it cuz it was too slow. I used my roadified hybrid and it was fine and plenty fast. use the marathon winters as max pressure or 1 lb under. going too low with pressure will slow you down but you do have to play with pressure depending on conditions.
Thanks, it give me a good idea.
