I've done it all from dust to a foot on knobbies and more than a couple inches sucks as you just fight the bike, but I don't have to tell you that, if it didn't you wouldn't have spent big coin on spikes! Eight inches already? Holy crap that answers my question.
As for tires, you can get two different length spikes from Kevin's. A long spike for deep snow and a shorter spike for mixed surface conditions that is less likely to get torn up. I'll have to do some more research. I have also heard that the Czech Trellborgs are not as durable as the original Swedes, but I have had excellent results with other tires from the Mitas factory.
