I'd love to have a set of those in the narrowest size that will fit our rims - but I don't love the price. Nokian is proud of their tires - $90 for a studded BICYCLE tire! What up with that?

Have you ever tried the Hakkapeliittas without studs?

OK that's my thread jack for the night. Hey it sounds like the issue is settled anyway so cut me some slack, alright?
Yeah.. it's my wife's VX and it's pretty much unstoppable. The reason we went this expensive way is that she is from Ireland, and only started driving in the USA a few years ago in winter with this special set up. It really boosts confidence. My VX has plain old Duelers on it. But then again I grew up driving in upstate New York.
