Thanks for the link, Scott. Nice-looking products, and some use-and-abuse-friendly policies.
I hope you get to ride on some "black ice" yet this season, but those tires should last a long time and you'll get good use out of them. My studded tires for the mountain bike are at least 8 years old and have plenty of wear left... maybe more than *I* do at age 70! The tires on my "winter" commuter are 20" Schwalbe "Marathon Winter", and they don't last as long because I'm on them 5 days a week in salt, slush, ice and snow. But they got me through some of the heaviest snows we've had in several years here in Chicago without a single "get-off". Obviously, I depend on the snow plows to get most of the snow off the streets, but there's plenty that they miss.

Waiting for the train. "Boundaries"? What boundaries? ;-)
