Description
Maximum Float Studded Bike Tire — 45Nrth Dillinger 5
The extra width of the 45Nrth Dillinger 5 26" Fat Bike Tire allows you to rail icy off-camber singletrack with confidence and control, while taller side lugs bring improved cornering in snowy conditions.
The 45Nrth Dillinger 5 Studded 60 TPI 26" Fat Bike Tire has a center tread which is tightly spaced for speed when you need it so you can power up an icy climb and rip down the other side.
This studded version comes with 252 concave aluminum carbide studs to provide extra bite and increased durability.

Reviews
Tires came promptly from Western Bike Works. Great service. These studded tires are amazing on ice...solidly secure grip is a huge confidence booster for winter riding. By definition, studded tires are going to be relatively heavy and significantly more expensive compared to non-studded tires. That said, 1) it's cheaper than a hip replacement or shoulder surgery that could result from an icy fall and 2) heavy and durable is much better than light and dainty in snowy/wintery conditions.
I was not able to take these tubeless on my HED Big Alloy Deal (BAD) rims. (These rims took my Schwalbe Jumbo Jims as tubeless instantly, for comparison.). I am running them tubed for this winter and notice the extra weight of the studs and tubes...but I call those #FitnessOpportunities and just appreciate being able to ride in the winter with nearly no fear at all. The only place where falls can happen are if there's a loose layer of slush or snow on top of the ice. If the studs can't get to the ice to dig in, then you can still fall/slip. That said, once you know this, it's pretty easy to read the road/trail to avoid or adjust to that situation as needed. If it's solid ice (like on a lake or something), ride on...because it's awesome!
I love the gumwall look on my 9Zero7 Tundra fat bike. So much fun!
