I bought a new wheelset with Schwalbe Ultremos (23s) on a while back. Still waiting to set the new bike up but am wandering wether to keep the Ultremos on or opt for something that will be better in the wet. Has anyone riden the Ultremos before? What is the grip like in dry conditions and wet? What are they like skidding? If your feedback doesn't fill me with confidence I will keep them for the summer and get a set of gators or randonneurs...whatever will fit in the clearance. Anyone suggest a good combo for grip on front and skidding on rear, both with good puncture resistance. Haven't really messed about with tyres and stuck with Rubinos (I was getting them really cheap) but that has dried up and I won't pay full whack for them. Cheers
