I've found the One's to be pretty robust, one or two punctures over the time I've had them but nothing out of the ordinary I think. My bike will take 28's but I think I'd like to stay with 25's because I prefer the handling (I've used both the 28 and 25c One's on this bike). Rims are H+Son Archetype.</p> <p>They will be used for both commuting and "training" :P</p> <p>I'm thinking about the Michelin Pro4 Endurance V2, in 25c</p> <p>Thoughts? Recommendations? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11306#post-127494 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 12:59:30 +0000 skotl 127494@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Only been on this forum few a few months and have spotted a few threads on a topic that I'd never even considered before; winter tyres.</p> <p>I've been commuting by bike through sun, rain, snow and ice for around four years now. *But* The first three winters were from Leith to the West End and last winter I was getting the train to South Gyle and biking in from there.<br /> All on 23C conti gator "slicks" without much in the way of drama.</p> <p>I've now been cycling all the way in from Dalmeny (with a positive effect on the wasteline!) and I must admit that some of the hills North of Cramond Brig are probably going to be a lot more exciting with frost, ice and snow. The soggy piles of leaves are already starting to become treacherous.</p> <p>So should I be replacing the slicks with some winter tyres? If so, any suggestions?</p> <p>I'm minded of the other post re the cost of cycling vs other commuting methods; cycling isn't as cheap as it appears! </p>
