If ya wanted to be all prepared for winter riding and great traction - get these - ya just sit down with your bike for about an hour and zip them in with a drill driver.   Then spend an hour or less zipping them back out and go on a dry ride the next day.
 
The 7/16 length is best - (I hit a rock real hard one winter and pushed a 1/2" screw into the front tube and got a flat) The flat tire with screws still worked way better than a bare tire with none - rode the rest of the day flat .   These little buggers are great - you can do wheelies on solid Ice and roots and logs are now easier than in summer.  (they don't work good on solid granite tho - avoid that)
