you better change that headlight to light up the winter days there. nice job, how does it change the handling? what lean angles do you use... does it grip in moderate cornering? very interesting... makes me almost miss living in snowy/cold climates.

There's a guy on an SXV forum I frequent that does ice racing. He uses similar tires, and says they only sell them in sweden. But I've seen people make them with sharpened bolts run through the tire from the inside. Obviously you need to run tubes though. But the video he posted of him riding with them showed him hit the handlebars on the ice, and stand it back up. F*cking insanity! I'll try to find it...
My buddy's club puts on ice races in winter, plus there is a bar on a local lake that allows parking for practice. There are different classes for ice racing with various tires. The most common here are the "Cold Cutter" ice screws (the head of the screw is sharp). They work very well and you can just about touch the bar end down on good ice. If you live in a cold climate its fun and all you need is an older MX bike and some screws to get started.
