snow, snow, glorious snow
1) yep, maximum depth approx 6" or 300mm, After that the leg/foot guards lift the tyres off the ground, making things awkward.
2) trelleborg make winter spec tyres, using a softer compound rubber, giving a nadge more grip. they also to the spiky type, but watch for road legality.
3)forget using the front brake. I converted the 90 to rear brake cable control to a lever on the left bar. so you can have both feet down on the ice.
4)garage anything valuable or with more power than neccesary. use something unbreakable, and learn to rear wheel steer!!!!!
the best tyres have lots of sipes, or lots of small knobbles. eg catspaw. big knobblies may work in deep snow, but new road tyres are far superior on ice.
