in which case let me share with you some experience, especially with this


In the winter, your tyre will perform less effectivly when the ambient temp goes below 7c, the compound just doesn't work right, no matter what tread pattern you have.

So, to get you through the winter, safely with better grip you actually need a softer compound (winter tyres have different compound, but in the absence of winter tyres for bikes in this country, softer is the only real alternative), which unfortunatly gives shorter life!

However, depending on how you adjust your riding, you may well be OK with harder tyres as long as you consider that riding a harder tyre with less 'vigor' will mean the compound may not warm up enough to work to it's best ability.

Just a thought.
