Thank you all for your replies. Just to clarify @frahm30, are those the 45N Kahva tires? I'm wondering about the fit of 2.25 with studs in my Hunq frame. Worked at a bike shop this summer and saw a bike with studs (sheet metal screws) that chewed into a frame! Ouch!
In the case of studded tires, does a wider tire make a great deal of difference as far a traction goes?
