Ready for snow. Finally got a pair of studded tires (Kenda Klondike 40c) but of course the foul weather and snow are gone for now. They ride smooth enough so I'm planning to just keep them on until March. Not a heavy snow tire. I guessing they'll will handle packed snow and ice and maybe a couple inches of fresh stuff. Mainly I'll feel more confident about patches of ice that linger along the route.
