I grew raised on spikes and just started spending winters in Asia a few years ago. I dared to leave my spikes in the mountains all winter long, so I wouldn't recommend riding them in the fall and then heading back to St. ultimately, I'm astonished; I won't be going back to the spikes. It's obvious that, for northern winters, you'll need to pack a tried-and-true Velcro model. Yes, Ice 2 does not work miracles on clean ice, but in this case, no one is complaining about that. and on slush that eventually turned to ice after a thaw. Obviously, the pace needs to be drastically reduced before entering such an area. But I can say with absolute certainty because I've been living there since the autumn of 2022. I had no issues whatsoever, even while driving a front-wheel-drive Czech liftback. This year, there was snow, and the porridge was a snowy, wet mess. and significant snowfall that delayed the SNT tractor's ability to travel, etc. Take this rubber without worry!
