I plan to wait until the roads have been plowed a bit, if there is more than a couple inches. Riding in deep snow clogs up your wheels and brakes pretty quickly. In icy conditions, studs make a big difference, or so I'm told. I will try those for the first time this winter. -- David L. Johnson __o | "What am I on?

Another has given a good website but from my personal experience all you really need is tires with good tread and enough saddle time that you feel completely comfortable on the bike. I'm thinking that if you've ridden off-road in muddy conditions you should be fine. Studded tires are great for sheet ice and helpful for hard snow but not necessary.
