Any snow, deeper snow I mean? i am finding that my studded 27.5 tiers are pretty worthless if there is any snow. Powdery stuff is OK, but the wet stuff makes it un-ridable, Even a light layer on the roads that has been packed down by cars (ice/hard packed base with loosley packed on top) pushes me all over the road. Or a few inches on the path of wet snow that has had moderate foot traffic does the same. In the city I don't get to ride in virgin snow.
Does those fat tires really float over that?
