Vee rubbers are probably the leaat tire I have ever enjoyed but on the plus side is the are studdable so you won't need new winter tires just a bag of studs.
Also what Suzie q are you looking at the ally 30? Because all the suzie qs have been 27.5 x 3.8 in recent history.
That being said the bigfoot is a better speced bike

Thanks for the thoughts. Not looking at any Susie Q’s. Not a lot of sock out there of course.
The Blizzard has 26” rims, with Terrene Cake Eaters (4.6”) that are also studdable, which I’ll be doing as soon as I get it.
I’d prefer the 27.5” I think, but on the other hand the norco is in Edmonton. The rocky is right here in Cochrane at Bike Bros, so local service and maintenance is a plus. It would suck if the norco had an issue and it would have to get brought to Up North, or just pay out of pocket down here.
The local bike is a little lower spec, but a little cheaper too.
Thanks again.
