going to to force myself to commute to work a bit over the next couple of months so what tyres for dirty winter roads in a 26″ stylee that have decent grip but not too draggy or maybe 29er if i decide to ss

Marathon Cross

I use michelin country rock, plenty of cuts in the tyre to disperse water, but very little rolling resistance. Cheap and chearful at a tenner each. I’ve even used them on dry dusty and damp trails becuase I couldn’t be bothered to change them.

Surly Larry.

get back in your box tollah

I think I use continental city contact. Slicks are fine unless it’s snowy or slushy and even then it’s doable if not sensible.

My biggest tip would be to get armoured puncture proof tyres. While you won’t get as many punctures on the road they are a right pain as they always seem to come at the worst times when you are running late already and it’s raining.

A useful suggestion I feel as you’ve had a wee bit on snow recently

seeing how slow stu rode on his yesterday i will give it a miss 😆
