Yes, maybe I'll just get a set of those studded tires. I like how the center is clear of studs. I'm running a fancy SON front hub and big light because about half of my 14-mile commute is on a trail with no lights and at least half of my riding is in the dark this time of year. This is also the problem for setting up a second winter bike. I have a couple projects that could work but I already have so much money into the light system that riding with USB headlight or lower level generator in the winter would be a drag.
I don't mind changing out the tires once or twice a year.
Thanks!
