I am the new snow stud! Meet the tires that will (hopefully) keep the bottom of the bike below the top

I know what you are thinking… what kind of a fool would make snow tires for a bike? And what kind of a fool would buy them? Wonder no more!

Here we have a shiny new, rubbery-smelling, pair of 45Nrth Dillinger 5. 258 steel-carbide studs per tire of softish compound for traction galore. Acquired from ‘fatbikes.ca‘, shipped from Bracebridge, and soon to be installed for ‘mad traction’ and a ‘dramatic reduction in incidents involving pavement and pain’.
