Ive never run Spikes myself, but I run 909's just now. I switched to them after running minions and high rollers for a few years - Im never going back to Maxxis. Theres no harm in trying them, theyre still not too expensive if you hunt about a bit.
i have tried intence tyres... and they are pretty good... bout the same asa maxxis.. but are just more expencive...

hey guys, just wondering if anyone has tried wetscreams in the snow? If so, are they good? or are there better tyres for snow/ice (snow in particular). Also i don't want to do the whole drill the nail into the tyre thing. lol

I got some Geax Daturas to test in the wet/loose Big Grin They look pretty good.

I saw snow when I was in Australia a few years ago not much though. Australia is awesome apart from the wierd driving licence system.
