Schwalbe Winter
Highly recommended tyre for the winter! I fitted it to my STROMER ST1 for my commuter journeys, front and rear. No more slipping on slippery roads, safe handling on snow-covered roads! In addition to the studs, the tread is also very good, it grooves into the snow like a plough.
The only annoying thing is the rolling noise of the spikes on dry roads. But the safety on ice, especially in the morning hours, compensates for any noise on non-icy roads in the evening. You get used to the rolling noise over time.
These tyres were the best investment for the winter.
After a crash with normal tyres, I now drive safely through the winter with these.
Recommended purchase for anyone who rides their bike / e-bike every day!

The tyre, even with two rows of 1.2 inch studs, holds well on ice. However, given its width, it sinks easily into the snow, even when well packed. The tyres are still ok after 500 km without 4 studs. The grip on the road without ice is good.

After the first use with ice/snow, my wife said that we should have bought them much earlier.
(The winter plus is not necessary, it also makes more noise, ... less is more...)

Be careful with the size, it fits ti rims with ETRTO
349 mm. It will not fit to a typical 16" kid bike, which which uses ERTRO 305 mm.
So, had to return it.
Otherwise the tire looks fine. My son uses the same tyre in another size, and it keeps well on icy roads.
