    spotted when I followed Davec's link in the mudguard thread:

    Marathon winters for £14.99? (RRP £49.99 according to them) doesn't get much better than that.

    These are what I have. Bought them last year when the shop was still open at the former Tri centre. They're still hung n my garage awaiting some Ice.

    1.75"/45mm width: check
    26"/ISO559: check

    £15 each is a steal, but factor in £4 delivery via Yodel or £6 via DHL.

    Also a pretty wild 'drink beer' t-shirt in the clearance pile:

    Hmm. I still need to fix the sparebike which still has one Winter attached from last year. Or build a new pair of wheels and stick the winters on them for relatively easy swapping into properbike.

    Everyone buy them now to stop there being any snow or ice this winter

    I would, but they don't seem to have 700c ones. It's like any sale: there's never anything in my size.

    I noted some 700c Schwalbe Winters on sale on Gumtree recently for a bargain £20 (I think). The Winters have fewer studs than the full-on Marathons. They were out Tillicoutry way though.

    I will have to get some more winter tyres ordered for winter as been using one all summer after a blow out and the tyre bent out of shape. My winter tyres are now worn out.

    Rose Bikes have the ordinary Winter tyres (2 rows of studs) for £13.21 per tyre. See details here

    Might be worth seeing if there's anyone else ordering from Rose as they're in Germany. I gather there's a group order a couple of times a year.

    Always assuming you want studded tyres!
