 What's a solid choice for a 650B tire? I have SKS P55 fenders on with
 decent clearance with the stock Kenda tires currently

We have an order in for 40 of the 650b A10s, but we are waiting for
confirmation that they have shipped from Finland. I placed the order in
May. I will post here as soon as we have confirmation. Some years we wait
until early December for our studded tires to arrive, even though we order
them in the spring.

Re: [RBW] Winter tires - studded

2017-11-06 Thread Tim Gavin 
Unfortunately, there are still limited options for 650b studded tires.

The only one that would fit under a P55 fender is the Nokian A10.  It's a
stout commuter tire with reasonable tread and studs on the shoulders.  Seem
like they'll get you across the morning re-frozen-meltwater on the bike
path.
$59 from Peter White (seems to be the only US source).

Otherwise, Kenda, Schwalbe, and others make studded MTB tires in 27.5/650b,
but they all start at 2.1"/54 cm wide.  Too wide for P55 fenders, maybe too
wide for the frame?


I've been riding 4.5" wide studded tires (45 Nrth Dillinger 5) the last
three Iowa winters, and now I have a set of 700 x 38 45 Nrth Gravdal tires
to try on my 'cross bike.
