The spikes work best on ice when running at minimum pressure, while at maximum pressure the tyres can be ridden on ice-free roads with minimal road noise.

Spikes F&Q's
Can it also be ridden on a normal road?
Without any problem, but if the road is only rarely covered with snow the resulting tyre noise may prove annoying.

And it won't slide out in cornering?
No. The spikes 'claw' really well into normal asphalt roads and even fast cornering is not a problem.

Aren't spikes illegal?
Bike tyre spikes are no problem. Only motor vehicles spikes are prohibited in some countries, because they damage the road. Fast E-bikes are however considered motor vehicles.

Do the tyres have to be run in?
In order to ensure that spikes are permanently fixed, tyres should be run in for about 25 miles on asphalt, while avoiding any fast acceleration or heavy braking.

What is the lifespan of the spikes?
All Schwalbe spikes have a core made of extremely hard wearing tungsten carbide, so they can cover a few thousand miles. It is normal for the spike edges to round off and for them to become more deeply embedded.

About the Schwalbe brand

For over 70 years Schwalbe have dominated the two wheeled tyre industry in Germany and Europe, being voted best MTB tyre brand in Germany for the past two years. From the very early beginnings where the company founder, Earnest-Wilhelm Bohle capitalised on the developing cycle industry, to the ultra modern distribution facility near Cologne, Schwalbe have continued to design and manufacture some of the finest bicycle tyres available. Schwalbe's success is due in part to the effort it makes in product development from lab tests at the manufacturing facility to the hardest proving grounds of all, professional cycle racing. 'Team Gerolsteiner' achieved a very creditable 7th place overall in the 2004 Tour de France and the unique performance of team captain Davide Rebellin winning three major classic races back to back using Schwalbe tyre. Other notable succeses include Normann Stadler winning the infamous Ironman triathlon in Hawaii, riding Schwalbe Stelvio tyres.

Schwalbe Winter Kevlar Guard Rigid Spiked Road Tyre is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 16.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mycwsd from On the positive side, these tyres grip really well and inspire confidence in sketchy winter conditions; however, their shear weight (870g each), rubber compound, enhanced puncture protection, tread pattern and spikes all combine to provide poor rolling resistance resulting in a really tough slow workout. In fact they’re comparable to riding through treacle! A good winter option for the harshest conditions (beats being inside on the turbo) but need to be reserved for ice & snow only. Note, Schwalbe recommends running them in for 40km on asphalt.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EasternJay from Good for ice. Not too much noise. I have used the 26 inch version on my old hybrid bike for last couple of years after sliding off on ice on my all season touring tyres. Purchase of a new bike meant bigger tyres required although will now wait for next years winter season. I use these on my regular commute to/from work. Please note these are not perfect and ice should always be avoided where possible but they are significantly better than regular tyres, especially when cornering on country roads which is where I find myself running in to most trouble. I don't think it is just the studs that make these better on ice, I think the softer compound & kevlar guard combo give these better grip and I have [touch wood] not had any punctures or slid off again while running the 26 inch version this winter or last. I generally fit this to the front in October/November and remove in March/April depending on 'morning frost levels'. I found fitting both front and rear all season overkill and noise becomes distracting but if its snow and ice I would do both wheels.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Flex78 from Generally good, but with one flaw I have been using this tire for commuting for four winters in Norway. The grip is mostly good enough (but naturally quite a bit less grip than tires with more studs). You just have to know its limitations. Rolling resistance is good. But... After four winters I started to get flat tires. I inspected the tire, and the studs had come right through the tire on 6 - 8 different places. I mentioned this at a discussion, and several others had noticed the same thing. So the relatively low weight of this tire comes at a price. Do I recommend it? Yes and no...

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sweden102 from Fast winter commute Used throughout Swedish winter for commuting to work on CX bike and sometimes at weekends (both summer and winter) for rides on rough singletracks. Soft compound and studs give good grip. Quite fast compared to equivalents.

Wheel Size

The Q and A suggest this tyre fits a 700 wheel size but the description indicates a MTB wheel size. Does this tyre fit 700 wheels? Thanks
Asked by: r0ssc0
Sorry for the confusion, currently we only have the 700c x 30mm tires in stock.

Would these tyres fit 700x23 deep rim wheels

Asked by: Anonymous
In this instance we would require some further details. Please contact us directly using sales@wiggle.co.uk and I will of course try and help further.

winter tyres for 650b

hi i am interested in buying a pair of suitable tyres for my 650b. are there any available? or, can i use 26 inch tyres on them for the winter instead?
Asked by: aspendoc
Unfortunately we do not currently have any suitable tyres in stock as a 650b measurement equates to a 27.5" wheel size.
Answered by: WiggleAndyE
Date published: 2014-10-22

Would these be okay to use on the 700x32 wheels that came as standard on my bike?

Asked by: McGr
This will very much depend upon the clearance of your frame and fork. For further information please contact us directly using sales@wiggle.co.uk

The description recommends a 40km run-in period. It also says that the tire can be used on ice/snow at minimum pressure and on dry pavement at maximum pressure. What pressure do you recommend for the run-in period?
Asked by: maba0320
Pressure: 35-70 psi.
