What are the studded tyres like on tarmac?

[GrasB]

+1 for leaning, I rode on Marathon Winters & had them pumped to 45-50psi & lent into the corners rather than steered through them, still had to be careful but the speeds you could do are immense compared to a normal tyre. Now if they could only halve the weight & do them somewhere around the 700x28c mark

Oh expect some road roar when on non-iced tarmac.

Thanks all

I appreciate you may still have to go easy (if you're not Mickle ) on them. I like the analogy made on the website BM linked too that they're like walking on ice that has a sprinkling of salt on, you know it's slippery but with common sense you can make good progress (it's written far better on there though.)
