Studded tires in brown slop?
We have some snow and sure enough once again the city in its infinite wisdom salted some of the side roads but didn't plow them which means the sale turned the snow and other crap to a lovely thick brown slop that has no traction as it's very much like a thick grease to ride on.
I've read elsewhere that studded tires are NOT much help in snow. Does this also hold true fro this greasy brown slop?
My technique thus far for dealing with this slop is just to reducee the air pressure in my tires some. I use knobby 26" x 2.125" tires.
Thanks and cheers
