Hi all,
I'm hoping some of you can help me out! I need some good, grippy tires for wet/winter conditions for my road bike. The Specialized Pro all condition tires aren't doing the trick. My commute to worke entails a steep, switchback section in the woods (paved) that always has wet leaves and needles on it. It might not have rained for a week, but back there it is always wet! My tires keep slipping on this section, like today when i rotated my crank one revolution and didn't go anywhere.....So if anyone can recommend a good, grippy winter tire for wet conditions and possible light snow if it does snow for my ride home for a road bike - 700cc - that would be wonderful! Oh, and kevlar bead is preferred.
Thanks!!!
