Well I got the studded snows on today and took it for a quick lap around the parking lot. Wow is this a different ride! I'm sure once there is snow on the ground these will feel a whole lot different and much smoother but for dry roads they are loud, rough and slow.
So some questions for you pros at winter riding.
1: Do you ride your studded tires all winter once it starts snowing or only when there is snow/ice and swap them out when it's dry?
2: I keep reading studded tires need "broken in" on dry roads first. Do you ride the tires at max or low pressure and for how far to do this?
3: Do you ride clip-less (cleats) or on platforms or does it depend on the conditions?
4: Am I nuts?
