They're great on top of packed snow and in slush and on ice but not so great in the layered stuff. I actually paid as much for these tires as I would have if I ordered 32mm Nokians through Peter White. If I had to do it again I'd probaby go with the Nokians just based on their rep but so far the Klondikes haven't disappointed. They're 40mm and have very little clearance in the rear chainstays so I guess I should have got the 32mms but I couldn't resist the option to go fat. Now I guess I need an LHT. And a heated garage.
Don't worry Dom, we're planning another ride this Sunday. You going to be there? It's supposed to snow.
