I geared up last winter, $$ I am hoping to be all set. I did buy a pair of Nokian Extremes, 54-622, at REI last spring for a good discount. I will be using these this winter. The 54-559 ones worked so well on my mtb last winter. Removing fenders and changing tires hopefully will be it.
I really , really want a Supernova E3 triple, maybe a lottery is in my futrure.
