Studded tires...

Hey guys, I know this topic has been knocked back & forth on this particular forum but I'm still waffling. Last winter I ran Allterrainasaurus 700cx32s and had some squirrely rides plus 2 falls. Right now I will be running the Transworld Citys until the conditions get worse.

For a (mostly) paved roads commute, I see the Marathon Winter tires or the Nokian W106 are Peter White's recommendations. His opinion is that the Marathons grab better in ruts & offer lower rolling resistance. That seems to make the Marathons better than the W106s.

BTW There are some off-road trails on the way that I ride every now & then. I wonder how these two models would do on reasonably easy trail-riding?
