questions about the

Nokian Mount & Ground W160 26 x 1.9 Studded Tire

asked by: A Visitor
Can you tell me whether these tires will fit on Araya RM 20 rims?
answered by: canteau
The Araya RM-20 was available in several ISO diameters. If the ones you have are ISO 559 then they will work just fine.
asked by: A Visitor
What is the correct direction to mount these tires?
answered by: cmcmann
Mount these with the "V" pointing forward.
asked by: A Visitor
Are these studs replaceable?
answered by: cmcmann
Yes, in fact Nokian studs are great replacements for the studs in other brands of studded tires as well.
asked by: A Visitor
Do you mount rear tire in opposite direction for better traction?
answered by: anonymous
V-shaped tread lugs are modeled after those on the drive wheels of farm tractors. The purpose of the V is to drive mud OUT of the tire when the tire is slipping and the contact patch of the tire is moving in relationship to the mud surface. This gives more traction than allowing the mud to build up in the tread, as rubber against mud provides more friction than mud against mud. A similar effect can be gained on snow, which is why some people mount the front tire with the V facing the back of the bike, since the front tire contact patch would only be moving in respect to the snowy (or muddy) ground while braking.
answered by: smulder
Though I've seen people do that with non-studded tires it really should not be necessary as the studs of the tire should provide ample traction by really digging in and cutting the frozen layers. Should you be in muddy situations I can see that being something at least to try.

Review of the Nokian Mount & Ground W160 26 x 1.9 Studded Tire:
These are amazing, about as good as it gets for studded tires. My kids ride 2.5 miles each way to/from school year round in Michigan and I've put these on both 26" and 700c wheels. The studs are high quality carbide tips, and after 2 full seasons (December to April) on the bikes the studs show only nominal wear and the tires hold up really well. Be sure to dose the tires well with baby powder before mounting as they tend to be a very tight fit and the powder helps pop them on and off the rims.

If you're going to hit the streets in icy conditions, don't put a price on your safety. Go with the Nokian Mount & Ground.

Summed up: Can't be beat for icy conditions.

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Review of the Nokian Mount & Ground W160 26 x 1.9 Studded Tire:
We've used these for additional grip on packed snow, it certainly adds security at an acceptable price point. Just as the other reviewer mentioned, use baby powder on these because they are a TIGHT fit on rims but nothing you can't overcome with patience.

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Review of the Nokian Mount & Ground W160 26 x 1.9 Studded Tire:
I have only used these a few times so far but the 1st ride was right after a snow storm (couple of inches) and these tires worked fantastic. No spin at all even on hard packed snow, as long as I stayed on the saddle. I think these are well worth the money after having gone down once or twice on black ice. Just like the car tires, Nokia's rubber compounds seem to grip far better than conventional mtb tires. I don't know if it is because the rims are so old on my 17 year old Diamondback (slight changes in tire/rim sizing over the years maybe??) but they slipped on with no problems at all and no baby powder required.

Summed up: Love them so far and if I can get a season or two out of them I will be buying more.
Thanks Tree Bikes.

Review of the Nokian Mount & Ground W160 26 x 1.9 Studded Tire:
I bought these to deal with periods of ice and snow in my city. This winter was mild so I did not get a chance to really test them. My plan is to install and remove them as required. I would not leave them on for any longer than is required because they steer very heavily which is only a problem when there is no ice or snow. I've been shopping for studded tires for several years and the TFB price made me get a set for my wife and me.

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Review of the Nokian Mount & Ground W160 26 x 1.9 Studded Tire:
This winter is my first time to use studded tires. I never imagined that I could ride on snow! Fresh fluffy snow, half-melted snow, wet & heavy snow and thin ice; I did not have any problem.

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Review of the Nokian Mount & Ground W160 26 x 1.9 Studded Tire:
After 20 in. of snow and battling the flu i finally have had a chance to ride these tires.work great as an around town,light off road winter tire.messed around on a frozen pond next to my local bike path, so i could get a feel for them on solid ice.when you crank the bike over fairly hard, they grip pretty good,and when they do let go, its a gradual controllable rear wheel drift type of feeling.I,ve got to admit, traction far exceeds my skill level,until i get more time on them

Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.
