  1. Does anyone know the latest rumour on the possible appearance of a 20"
    (406mm) studded tire. Nokian apparently once made a 20" studded tire for Swedish postal workers.

    I would like to improve the stickiness of the front tire of a LWB on early morning ice on pavement
    (Vancouver, British Columbia).

    Nokian is still making the 20 inch 55 mm studded tire. I think it is made for finnish postal
    workers, but maybe swedes use it too...

    Any dealer can get 144 stud Innova tires from QBP in 20 x 1.75" or
    2.125".

    I'm not sure, but I think Luke at Calhoun Cycle said the studded 20 inchers he's selling
    are Nokians.

    Hmm ok where could we get those? I guess mounting them on 1.75" rims would be stretching it though.

    The ones from Innova are not serious quality afaik.

    I forgot to ask - Why do you say this Risto? Is it the quality of the tyre, the spikes, or what?

    pedalkraft.debereifung.htm (Nokian spike). It is actually 57-407.

    Or i can sell mine for 20 euros here in Espoo, Finland. (i dont need it anymore, since i switched
    20 -> 26).

    The innova ones don't have "hard metal" spikes as far as i know, and the spikes wear quickly if
    riding on paved roads.

    You had the Nokians? How many kilos on them? 20 euros for a pair?

    I have only one Nokian tire for sale, and i'm asking 20 euros. It is as good as new, maybe 100 km.
    And it weighs more than one kilo 😉
