The Krampus tires are very light for 3" tires (like 2# each instead of 5#, even with the increased diameter) It is also basically a mountain bike with scant pretension for do-it-all 'practicality' or zombie apocalypse indefinite backcountry survival.

Are there really commercially available 4" studded tires?
