No, not this kind. it looks like its for very heavy snow which is rare in my city.
I meant tires for cold weather and light snow

When I was younger. . . I rode in snow a few times. Also laid the bike down in it one time. The good news was. . . not really much damage. The bad news was. . . . you slide a looong time on snow and ice.
Cornering is very precarious.
Maybe a winter trike is a better choice??

Once it gets icy I put the bike away for winter. You only have two wheels to keep you up. Real easy to loose traction and go down.

I have to say that in almost 50 years of riding I've never come across winter tyres for bikes. It will be interesting to see if any come up!

If you find any, I hope they come with free life insurance.

You are looking for basically an off road style tire?

We don't get the winters we used to earlier in my riding career, but despite riding a lot on snow and ice I have never come off. These days I wouldn't go out in such conditions, I've been there and ticked it off!
