Winter tires

[Catrin]

You are so hard-core!

I don't know about hard-core - hard-headed and stubborn - yep

I tend to ride in the country - just don't yet care for urban riding. So I figure the roads out there will be less taken-care of, though I could be wrong. Last winter I was still practicing in parking lots, and later, in my favorite park. I didn't hit the actual road until March.

Thanks for your experience, it is helpful to know. I was unsure if I was over-thinking, as I am sometimes known to do.
