Your mileage may vary. Wilhelm: I run mine down pretty low on air pressure and seem to get along okay. Your mileage may vary.

If the grip on icy roads is acceptable, I´ll give them a try. What do you think? Thanks, Guitar Ted. If the grip on icy roads is acceptable, I´ll give them a try. What do you think?

Not much resistance to speak of in a tire that is so wide. Again though, you may find you will need a higher air pressure than you might think. It gives very good grip, confidence, and a nice ride quality on commutes. Wilhelm: The Racing Ralph is a tire that rolls very well. Not much resistance to speak of in a tire that is so wide.

So did you made some experiences about the performance (especially grip) on blank winterly asphalt roads as well as on icy road passages (city biking), too?

The Ralph is a great snow tire. I would also recommend the WeirWolf LT. I am going out tomorrow on the WTB Stout. We'll see how it stacks up against those two later. It should be good though, as it's a huge casing like the Ralph and WeirWolf. RC: Yep! The Ralph is a great snow tire. I would also recommend the WeirWolf LT. I am going out tomorrow on the WTB Stout.

Have you done a comparison I've missed on the different tires and their good/bad application for snow? There are those of us who like you have to put up with the white stuff and would enjoy reading about which tire works the best in those conditions. Sounds like the Ralph may be one we can use year round. Thanks GT!! So I gather it’s a great snow tire?
