Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro Tire
Best high performance traction for dedicated winter mountain bikers.
This is the ultimate insurance policy for year-round commuters who refuse to let ice dictate their schedule. By packing hundreds of carbide studs into a surprisingly lightweight casing, it turns terrifying frozen patches into manageable terrain. You will sacrifice a bit of rolling speed on dry pavement, but the trade-off for absolute confidence on slick roads is worth every pedal stroke.
