But it's just like ryding in the rain - you'll be fine if you take appropriate care; ryde sensibly within your capabilities & comfort zone; ryde at a sensible speed for the conditions; & the snow or rain isn't really all that heavy, deep, or covering black ice!! Always ryde to the conditions & you shouldn't ever have too much in the way of hassles!
I was amazed at how will it did on the 50 mile trip from work!!

"
AK:
Unfortunately, it's a moot issue here. The dealer will only install OEM Kendas and preaches the BRP line on that subject. I don't want someone messing with my who does not know how to properly remove the rear wheel. Fronts no issue--but I get 20K plus out of the Kendas. Held hostage by the dealer for sure on this one.
