Snow Tires

[Injun Joe]

Hey, I'm thinking of trying ride year round for the first time since... oh, 1976 or so. Mind you, still only on nice days, but weather has a way of turning suddenly and quickly around here. Anyone change out to something of a "snow tire" for winter riding? I was looking at my son's 1980 GS750 the other day and it's almost knobby period correct tires compared to our almost treadless ones got me thinking. Also, going back to that guy with all the gravel problems, I wonder if they'd help that way too. Yes, I know you'd be greatly impacting ride and performance. So I'm not thinking of them as a year round thing... unless that gravel thing panned out super well.

Instead of different tires, do what I did and just add an extra tire.
With three you don't fall over.

Hey that Michelin Primacy Alpin ZP 195/55-16 is rated as a snow tire. Alpin for Alpine designates it as such. you're not gonna ride in accumulating snow cause the B is too heavy. That front end is gonna push badly.

They are ok in a little bit of snow with stock tires:

You mean that stuff, oh yeah I remember... Great day as few miles later we passed by a skifield as the sun came out and, despite been early spring, people were still enjoying the snow.
