I have seen those tires, good price, but please make sure they are not regular steel studded....

right after the announcement by 45North that they were going to offer the Husker Du and snowstudded tire they said the studs were steel, but I was looking several weeks ago online and online shop listed the studs stainless steel

carbide will last for many, many years, stainless I assume should last years.........regular steel studs will wear down after a season if you ride on pavement..I know, my first pair were cheapie innova knockoffs and the lasted less than the winter season..the next year I bought a set of Nokians 294's and after 5-6 they still have many years left on them

otherwise a very nice looking winter tire
