winter tyres
am not planning on 5th floor/boikzmoind skidding through winter, but looking for a decent relatively puncture resistant fast rolling grippy tyre (i clearly want it all) - i tend to use a brake rather than skid, hence this is not going in the skid resistant tyre thread
have been using my summer tyre of choice - the michelin pro race 3 but have had 2 slashed to death on the rear in the past couple of weeks (they had been rotated off the road bike so not too bothered, they had done their time already)
for the rear am quite happy to use a 25mm tyre - benefit of slightly lower pressure so less chance of penetrative punctures
do not want to use an gatorskin or armadillo as I did not find them grippy enough
last year i got some conti 4 seasons against my better judgement for the road bike, they punctured on their first outing, and were just a world of fail
