So finally winter decided to grace us in Virginia with some real snow. Since the weather had been clement I had not gone through with plans to make a set of studded snow tires but I just had to try out my Heidenau tires in the snow!
Went for a bit of a low speed ride and I am really impressed! Kept good handling even on fresh snow (only about a couple of inches down mind you) and decent braking (mainly the back of course).
I would have stayed out and surprised some fast food drive through employees but it is currently still snowing and visibility was an issue. Either I ride with the visor partially up, getting snow in my eyes, or snow would get packed on the visor and cause it to fog up really quickly.

Which ones do you have? K58s?

Yep, I bought them right after I lowsided on wet cobblestones at a roundabout and the K58s were indicated as having better bad weather grip than the 61s.
They also saved my arse last week when I had to do an emergency stop in the rain to avoid hitting the back of a car without working brake lights!

Damn good to hear!

I veto snow!

We keep getting tiny amounts after a very large storm a few weeks ago. It's never enough to really screw things up, but the side streets can be icy and any day it could snow, I don't ride, which of course stinks .
