My schedule:
1. Look at studs.
2. Don't buy because riding will be 'mostly clear pavement' with some packed snow.
3. Fall violently on 1 patch of glare ice disguised as packed snow on a 'mostly clear pavement' day causing quite a lot of pain in both kneecaps.
4. Go back and buy studs.
Avoid this.
I bought a pair of Innova's on lbs recomendation. They are working fine but the poop on the net sounds like by next year I'll have a set of 700 35 knobbies with no studs.
If I had it to do over I'd get the carbide stud Nokians.
