I am the proud owner of a pair of new Nokia 256 "Extreme" studded snow tires.
The tag on them suggests 30 miles of riding on the road as a break-in period. I thought that perhaps
the stud casings needed to be worn down to expose the carbide tips, but the spike tips are already
quite proud of the casings. Also, the studs all seem to be well seated into the holes in the tire.
I really don't want to expose my mountain bike to the road salt that is on all of our roads here in
MA. if I can avoid it.
Anybody have any comments, tips or ideas why the break-in period?
