Road bike – winter tyre choice

What a lot of closet roadies!!
Thank you all for your opinions, cleared up my tread fears anyway.
BTW I was thinking of braking security of wet 1-in-5 to 1-in-10 gradient roads of which there are serveral near home.

I'm more of a closet MTBer, judging by the frequency (or lack) with which I ride my MTB.

Re the Bontrager Hardcase, I've tried them – heavy, not very puncture proof, horrible wooden fel to the ride. I wouldn't but again.

Strange. We all used to use them as couriers and suffered far fewer punctures than other tyres tested. Virtually every other suitable tyre tried, most would puncture within a few days or a week. With the hardcases I wore them out (6 months, 10k miles) without getting a single puncture.

Schwalbe Marathon slicks were the worst. They really should not have given that tyre the Marathon name!

What a lot of closet roadies!!

I ain't in the closet fella, I'm loud and proud

What a lot of closet roadies!!

Yeah? Nothin' closet about my roadieing.
