thanks , the Why do you start a poll gives some background.
<< as indicated 7 bikes 1, is an old MTB, i built drum brake hub wheels , it gets stowed when above 0C.
This year , like last, cold + clear had roads dry, bare pavement & the tungsten steel alloy studs were less needed.
Location matters.. Inland [Pdx Etc.] they had Ice on the streets, but not here.
(so I get many years out of the Finnish made tires I got in 1990)
They keep working though I'm old and have since retired..
this year i got traction for my shoes, for the ice on road pass rest area parking lots .
VA is inland..
