what do you think of them and how are they preforming compared to normal in various conditions snow ice slush cheers (if youve had owt but thick snow)
I have the conti 120 26" tyres - so not quite the same but my experience might help. On ice - fantastic. Allows you to steer and brake even on black ice. On snow or slush no huge difference to any knobbly I think.
I have mine on my commuter for the rest of the icy period. Make af unny noise of tarmac
cheers fella , sound good. last year my biggest problem even off road was snow that had melted and refroze so was like a sheet of ice anyway. thanks
Yep, rode into work on them this morning and had them fitted for a bit at last year's strathpuffer on my 29er.
They work well on ice - you still can't hoon around like it's the middle of summer, but you do stand much more chance of emerging from corners upright if you take it steady
They do drag terribly on tarmac (and make a racket), but then that's only to be expected.
In fresh snow they're probably no better than any other knobbly tyre, but they're not awful until it gets deep enough to warrant a biiig wiiide tyre
cheers looks like the best option as i cant find the nokian 294 29er tyre and cant afford a pugsley 😉
mick, who has the 240's in stock
I've found mine to be very capable. I'm using them on my RoadRat and they're fine on ice and snow up to about 15-20cm. Unconsolidated slush seems to be their only nemesis.

Tony nowhere it seems you can order but they don't have any 🙁
Try one of the german sites?
Going to tj thanks ukbike store showing stock but alas Nowt in 🙁
Madison have stock so you should be able to get some easily enough from your LBS. I'd love some but I think they're a bit wide for my cross bike. They're also bonkers expensive, even at trade price 🙁
