Those are the tires I mounted for a commute Monday. Unfortunately the road surface was a mixture of wet pavement and very uneven 1 - 3" ice pack and 2 - 5" loose slush. That grabs the front wheel and tries to wrestle control of the steering making the ride very strenuous. I did not adjust my brake pads and one jammed into the rear tire, sapping my energy until I noticed after a couple miles later. I thought I had become quite weak.
On smooth snow, snowpack, or glaze / black ice these tires are incredible. The bike will leave cars spinning out and sliding sideways as I pedal slowly away
