Schwalbe Ice Spiker

These tires are specifically engineered for ice and packed snow. While they are safe to ride on dry pavement, the metal studs will create significant noise and vibration, and you will notice increased rolling resistance compared to standard tires.

Yes, it is recommended to ride about 25 to 30 miles on dry, hard surfaces before hitting the ice. This helps the studs seat properly into the rubber casing, which prevents them from being pulled out during aggressive cornering.

The ETRTO size is 57-584, which corresponds to a 27.5-inch diameter and a 57mm width. As long as your frame and fork have sufficient clearance for a 2.25-inch wide tire, this should fit your bike.

Absolutely. The folding bead is designed to be just as robust as a wire bead while offering the benefit of being lighter and easier to store during the off-season. It does not compromise the structural integrity or safety of the tire.

The Performance line of the Ice Spiker typically uses a tube-type construction. While some riders experiment with tubeless setups, these are designed to be used with inner tubes for the most reliable performance.
