I bought a bunch in 1990, Shipped from Finland, built up a Drum brake** wheelset with All Weather Sports, Fairbanks AK , snow cat rims . 45mm wide singlewall.

and put them on an old MTB .. I pull it out on the occasional weeks It has ice on the roads , and they are still working fine ..

Just enough studs for the ice and Bare pavement mix we get where I live ..


** drum brakes seem ideal, on Ice. not as Grabby as the discs I have on the bike I use when the water on the streets is thawed.
and no frame fittings required,like discs either .

for super low PSI AWS suggested Using sew-up Glue and sticking 1 tire bead to the rim so it wont creep around the rim and shear the stem out of the tube.




a wide tire may be OK for new snow, but narrow tires get down to solid ground ..

The WRC rally race cars put narrow studded tires on for their Swedish snow races ..
OK a bit more HP than you on your Bike.
Yep, I was in Fairbanks when they were still welding rims together side-by-side to create fat rims.
