Nokian Gazza Extreme Tires. Features: It is not uncommon to lose 5-10 studs during normal use due to friction. This does not affect performance and is not considered a defect for warranty claims.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Great for the crusty hard packed!
This tire has changed me from a " mostly snowboarding wishing I could ride on the snow with my mt bike" to a " mostly riding on the snow cuz it's free and unbelievable" guy. These Nokian tires are animals. Now that the ground is frozen and the crusty ice and snow have laid a perma blamket on the ground, this tire will change your winter singletrack world. The absolute best case scenario is that you have access to snowmobile trails. Cuz these tires like the packed stuff. And if you are surrounded by fressh snow then snowshoe, walk, bike or atv your trails at least once and then get out and aggressilely claw your way thru the single track. In fact you will have better traction on the steeps in snow and ice then you would have on dry dirt. I'm telling you, you wont believe how steep you can climb with these tires. I went riding today on frozen snow, ice, and earth and never once did my rear tire slip. I read someone else's review saying that these don't do well on hard packed...

A Disruptive Cycling Product
Despite owning a slightly different Nokian model of tire, I wanted to give my enthusiastic endorsement of the Nokian studded tire range. Without a doubt, these tires are the most game-changing bicycle product I have used. In essence, they allow riders to safely traverse glare ice and slush-covered streets, making riding your Nokian-equipped bicycle across these surfaces safer than walking on them.
The technology behind these tires is steeped in the machine-tool-industry. Instead of using steel for the studs, Nokian employs tungsten-carbide. With 50 times the wear resistance of steel, tungsten carbide provides exception life expectancy.
The hardest metal in existence, tungsten carbide is typically in cutting tools as a replacement for diamonds. It is that hard. Lock the rear brake and you will see a trail of score mark as the studs cut through concrete.
Because the studs are blunted and are only a millimeter in diameter, there isn't an appreciable...
Perfect for commuting!
I purchased the Nokian Extreme tire to replace my worn out steel studded Innova rear wheel. FYI, don't bother with plain steel studded tires if you ride on pavment - the studs will wear down before the end of the season. I purchased the Extreme tire because last year I purchase a Nokian Mount & Ground "W" tire for my front wheel and it performed great.
This tire setup works out perfectly for me. I have the Nokian Mount & Ground (26X1.9) on the front. It rides smoother because of the tread design and it only has half the number of stud vs. the Extreme. It also cuts thru the snow and slush and is easier to handle due to the slightly narrower profile. The wider Extreme tire gives me awesome traction.
I have a 12 mile round-trip commute just south of Green Bay Wisconsin. I'll ride as long as the wind chill doesn't get lower than -10F and as long as there aren't any snow advisorys (not for my sake, but I don't want cars sliding into me!). Last week we had a blizzard...
