Yes, when the roads are free of snow and ice again, the air pressure in the tires can be increased to reduce the rolling noise of the spikes. This applies in particular to the Marathon and Marathon Winter models. Under normal conditions, the spikes provide a secure grip even on asphalt, as they “claw” into both ice and asphalt.

Everything you need to know about spiked tires
Yes, while spikes for motor vehicles may be prohibited in some countries, spikes on bicycles are generally allowed.
Our spiked tires are made of a special winter compound that is tailored to the specific conditions such as temperature, surface and stress.
To optimally run in the spikes, we recommend riding about 40 kilometers on asphalt. You should avoid accelerating sharply or braking abruptly. This will help the spikes bed in and provide more efficient grip.
You can ride several thousand kilometers with our spiked tires. The spikes have a core made of extremely wear-resistant hard metal (tungsten carbide). It is normal for the spikes to sink a little deeper over time and for the corners to become rounded.
When the spikes wear down and the corners become rounded, traction on ice and snow can be compromised. It is advisable to replace the tires in good time to ensure that you always enjoy optimal grip and safety.
Yes, we offer a set of replacement spikes including a tool.
It's best if you can mount the tires on a second bike. In the morning, you decide on the right bike depending on the weather. When the roads are icy and even cars are driving very carefully, it's a great feeling to have full control on spiked tires.

HOW TO GET THROUGH THE WINTER SAFELY ON YOUR BIKE
Winter in Germany. For many cyclists, this means slipping on sparsely cleared bike paths and side streets. But it doesn't have to be that way! With the right riding technique and the right equipment, winter won't stop you riding your bike.
WHY IS INFLATION PRESSURE SO IMPORTANT?
Only with sufficient air pressure is the tire able to support the total weight of the bike, rider and luggage. On a smooth road, the higher the air pressure, the lower the rolling resistance of the tire. High pressure also reduces the risk of punctures. However, if the air pressure is consistently too low, it often leads to premature tire wear. Cracking of the sidewall is a typical consequence. Our overview gives you an indication of the “correct” air pressure for your bicycle tires.
