The usual 700x23s, although the pressure was down to about 80psi-ish as they haven't been pumped up in a bit. Couldn't tell what type right now as the bike is literally too filthy to tell. In fairness, the treated roads were fine, it was just one short stretch between two of them that caught me out. If I had made it another 100m I would have been in the clear. I've quite a bit of experience riding slicks on snow and ice and reckon technique and experience count for a lot more than tyre width. I don't reckon wider tyres would have saved me from the stack. In the end it was as Audax so no real issues with slowing to a crawl for some sections. Diversions probably put me about 15k overdistance though.
