Bike<\/a> I was able to get a set of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.suomityres.fi\/sw300.html\">Nokian Hakka WXC300<\/a> studded mountain bike tires for just under $150. This is far cheaper than normal, and so low that should I not like \/ need \/ want the tires I will be able to sell them for what I paid.<\/p>\n<p>When the tires are brand new, Nokian recommends that one ride for 30 miles on paved surfaces to finish setting the studs in the tires. I intend to do this, but only after looking over the tires and fixing the not-quite-seated ones, as shown above. I&#8217;m hoping that the tread of these, combined with the spikes, will make for nice winter riding on the mixed ice\/snow that ends up covering local paths. Normally the ice isn&#8217;t an issue, but there were quite a few times where I flopped over quickly as the front wheel slid out from under me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/bike_stuff\/IMG_4211.jpg.html\">Here is a photo of the Nokian Hakka WXC300 tire in the package<\/a> showing the general tread pattern and the terrible &#8220;Deserve Them&#8221; company slogan. I expect that the large well-spaced, abstract edge knobs will work nicely in snow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through the Daily Deal at Alfred E.
