Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro Performance Folding MTB Tyre
Free riding in the snow! Why not? Lighter, grippier, faster. The 'turbo' of spike tyres.

WIDE !!
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive
"26x2.35 according to the packaging, but more like 2.5" wide. I run my tyres hard, but these will happily go down to less than 20psi - which is great for sheet ice. They perform so much better than the 26x2.1 ice spiker (non-pro) that I had previously. Faster on tarmac (although this is definitely a relative term), lighter, wider and fit tubeless. They inflated easily tubeless on a Mavic non-tubeless rim just with yellow tape, which is what I've found on other Schwalbe TL tyres.
Just make sure they fit as they are enormous, or get the narrower size. I had to re-dish my rear wheel to avoid the spikes catching the front derailleur which was extremely noisy.
Otherwise the grip is superb on all surfaces except laminate floor and cobbles. Take some getting used to because they will slip if provoked, but re-grip again once you back the power off - just like riding on normal surfaces really, but your brain seems to have this inbuilt "grip or fall over" association with ice. Just ride and pretend the ice isn't there. If you are in granny ring uphill on ice you need to be careful for wheelspin and get your weight carefully over the back tyre, but as I said earlier you would for mud also."

Excelent tire
Pros: High Quality
"I purchased the 2.35" which is perhaps too big for some frames and forks, I had to remove my front fender to run this size. I also have to run a slightly lower tire pressure on my 1996 Cannondale swing arm. The larger size is a weight consideration as well, although I run an electric assist so nil issue for me. The service with wiggle is top notch and was expidited as promised, also great price and free shipping so hard to beat . Thanks and great job overall, cheers."

早い！！
Pros: 良いバリュー, 軽量さ
"年末の注文だったので気を長くして待っていたら1週間しないで着きました！
年末年始休暇は日本だけだからやっぱり早いんですね。
勿論商品（梱包含む）に問題は無かったです。
今まで使っていたアイススパイカー（2.10）よりピンの突出が少ないようですが摩耗耐久性がアップしている事を信じて気にしないことにします。（アイススパイカーの新品時にはジャックナイフが簡単に出来ました・・）"

Worth the double
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Rugged, High Quality, Good Fit
"Living in Sweden, wanting to take the bike to work and having winter are three things that are difficult to combine. At least without tasting the ground a couple of times each ride, and especially if you don't want to be late for work every day.
Where I live (West coast), winter more usually means ice than snow. Spike tyres are the solution. They're available in abundance and they all suit different conditions. These have more spikes than the meanest car tyres (in fact, more than double the number of spikes!) and grip like nothing else.
Just be aware that when riding on tarmac with no ice or snow, spikes add significant rolling resistance, they wear much faster and tend to be torn out from the tyre more easily. So once winter's over, be quick to change tyres.
After using these I'll never want to change to another spike tyre. Sure, they cost a lot and they weigh a bit but man are they worth it!"

Awesome!!!!
Pros: Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Lightweight, superb ice grip
Cons: Expensive
"These are awesome for the worst weather. Deep rutts are not great for any tyre but for ice or compacted snow these are the nuts!!! If you're a regular commuter and theres mixed ice / tarmac, i'd probably go for either schwalbe winter tyre or the snow stud which is more for mixed terrain, but for worst weather or snowy icy MTB trails you can't beat these. The Pro versions have an alumium base rather than steel therefore preventing rusting and making the pro versions longer lasting as far as year in year out use goes."
