650B aka 27.5 Studded/Winter Tyres

[Frenchy]

Been looking and so far I am coming up empty (at least on English written sites)
Would anyone know about MTB studded tyres available for 650b or do I have to keep my 26" trail bike for winter riding and bring it with me from the UK?

I dont ride studded tyres in the forest. Are your sure you need them?

Am I sure? Not really
Just some forward planning just in case
I am a fairly aggressive rider that enjoy steep and technical and fast riding
And I can imagine that some of Hellas granite slates may become slippery at some point...
I don't intent to buy any until required if ever, just would like to have the option if the need arise
Thanks to the answers I know know that I can sell my Zesty in UK before leaving and will not miss it during the winter
;)

I rode Hellas last winter without studded tyres and in the forest it was fine. Going there on tarmac is however sketchy at best. The narrow studded tyres is however crapp for riding in the forest. They often look like cx tyres.

This one looks sweet. But it sais 26 AND 584. The little I know is that 584mm is the size for a 650b tire, while 26 inch is smaller. Do they fit a 650b rim?
I pretty much need someone to confirm that I can order the above tire for my 650b rims =)

Suomi Tyres Extreme is available in 650b, not sure where to get it in sweden, though, since I work and live in Norway. But they are good, and available.
