schwalbe ice spiker 304 question
This is for those who own these tires. I just got 2 of them, and I could not find an arrow on the tires for tire direction.
Is there a "side" this tire goes on?

I have the snow stud, and the direction is clearly marked - I can't help you with your problem, but I would appreciate a review after you've ridden them for a while (though you might not have much ice left in the season to really test it out, unless you're heading into the Laurentians)

I just looked at a photo of these tires and to me it appears that they have a alternating tread pattern that will be exactly the same either way you run it.

Rajman: I'll let you know next winter! 
I bought those tires because my innovas failed me on pretty much the last ice day of the winter, and I got a nasty cut on the chin thanks to them (as well as a chipped tooth). Now I'm just hopping to "set" the studs in before while there's still *some* ice around, but mostly pavement. Just so I don't have to do that next winter.
Oneredstar: That was what I was guessing as well. Thanks for your input.
