45NRTH Gravdal Studded Tire

Yes, the Gravdal tires are tubeless-ready, allowing you to run lower pressures for better traction on icy surfaces without the risk of pinch flats.

While the ramped center lugs help them roll faster than many other studded tires, you will still feel the drag and hear the hum of the studs on dry pavement. They are designed primarily for winter conditions, so expect a different ride feel than your summer tires.

Yes, it is recommended to ride the tires on dry pavement for about 20 to 30 miles before hitting icy roads. This helps seat the studs properly into the casing so they stay secure during aggressive cornering.

Absolutely. The reflective sidewalls provide 360-degree visibility when hit by headlights, which is a critical safety feature for winter commuting when daylight hours are short.

The narrower 45mm width is intentional; it helps the tire cut through loose snow to find the firmer ground underneath, providing better stability and control than a wider, float-focused tire.

Yes, as long as your bike frame has the necessary clearance for a 700c x 45 tire. Always double-check your bike's maximum tire width specifications before purchasing.
