what tyres would people recommend for slippy/wet conditions?
im thinking that maybe tyres with a softer compound would grip better but have a shorter life span....any suggestions here? i've used contact sports and didn't really rate them last winter,marathons weigh a ton. People have raved about duranos but wasn't there some issues with the side walls or something? any other suggestions?
i've also upped the size of my front tyre from 1.3 to 1.5 as im thinking that there will be more tyre surface in contact with the ground thus gaining extra grip in the corners etc
would this seem accurate?
