Tram tracks will take out all tyres - the key to those is to cross them perpendicular (or a decent angle at least) or to bunnyhop sideways over them if you have to ride parallel. #melbournelad

Yeah, you´re probably right. Crossing in angle is already what I do, when I don´t I get stuck in the track, slippery or not ;)
Guess I´m just after a decent tire for a ok price that isn´t absolutely louse when it´s wet. I´m leaning towards gatorskins at the moment. Would love to try out the GP 4-seasons, but they´re out of my budget... And then maybe something more rigid for the winter... It gets a bit snowy / icey here.

Great, thanks for your input, leaning towards Randos. But would still prefer something lighter. Havn´t really had that much trouble with flat tires... Most important is probably good grip in the wet. Lots of wet leaves and slippery tram tracks where I live...
