The Schwalbe Winter is the entry-level model in Schwalbe’s studded tire series and is designed for cyclists who need extra control on slippery winter roads without the added weight and price of the Marathon Winter Plus. The tire uses about half as many studs as the top-of-the-line model, but still provides significantly better traction on ice than a standard studless winter tire. A 50 EPI carcass and K-Guard protect against common punctures, while a reflective strip improves visibility in the dark. The exact tire size for this item has not been specified.
