Winter Riding
"Peter Cole" spake thusly on or about Sat, 12 Jul
2003 17:18:09 UTC - The thing about Nokians is that they use tungsten carbide studs, so they last - a very long time. Cheaper tires often use hardened steel which wears out - pretty fast on pavement. Nokians are worth the $$ if you ride on the road a - lot. from what have seen the ones my lbs makes up are good for at least 4 seasons. at $80 a set cdn for 26" tyres the Nokians would need to last a very long time to be a similar value. I am sure that the Nokians have their place and that there they are worth the price but I do not see typical commuting being that niche application. that said what one wants and likes is what always makes the difference. -- I hurt before the ride so fibro gives me a head start on the rest of the pack. silver lining? |
