45NRTH Gravdal

While the Gravdal is designed for ice, the tread pattern is efficient enough for dry or wet pavement. You will feel the studs buzzing on smooth asphalt, but the tire rolls surprisingly well for a studded winter model.

Yes, the Gravdal is tubeless-ready. Running them tubeless allows you to drop your tire pressure for better traction on snow and ice without the risk of pinch flats.

Yes, 45NRTH uses standard carbide studs that can be replaced. If you lose a stud over time, you can purchase a replacement kit and install new ones using the appropriate tool.

The Gravdal is a wider tire, so you must check your frame and fork clearance first. Ensure your bike has enough room for the specific width of the tire, accounting for potential mud or snow buildup.

Concave studs feature a hollowed-out center that creates two sharp edges rather than a single point. This design bites into ice more aggressively than standard flat-topped studs, providing significantly better grip on slick surfaces.

Yes, the reflective strip is highly effective for side-on visibility. It catches light from car headlights, which is crucial for safety during dark winter commutes when you are crossing intersections.
