Continental 240's- Where to buy in USA?
I have searched this forum and others, many bike shops and many websites and I still can't find anyone who sells the Continental 240 studded tire in the US. If anyone can point me in the right direction here in the good ol' USofA, I would appreciate it!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Not the USA (Canada) but not across the pond. Are these the tires you're looking for.

This brings up an interesting couple of questions.
First, My ride is an older Cannondale H400. Can I assume that I will need to choose the thinner 'Touring/City' tire, or can I put the MTB tire on? I don't think there is enough clearance for the MTB in-between my brakes.
Second, do you ride with studded tires on dry pavement? I don't want to have to keep changing them everytime it gets wet and cold out. I am definitely a newbie at this, so any advice is appreciated!

You will have to measure to see if the tire will rub on the fork/stays. Your brakes may be adjustable. You do ride with them on pavement, unless you have extra wheels. With good tires, and carbide tipped studs they should last forever. Cheaper steel ones have been reported to wear out before the season is over.
