Could somebody explain to me how this works?
Winter?? At this time of year?? Granted, it is supposed to snow for the next week here, but most places are in spring or fall right now.
1) Go to the Winter forum and do some reading ... you'll see how it's done.

2) When I commuted year round in Winnipeg, most of the time the pavement was bare and dry. It was chilly, but that's easily dealt with. Here in Alberta, ice is a bit more of a factor. I still ride year round, and without studded tires, but if I stayed here I might get them.
