Stupid question?? 18 Dec 2018 12:39 #795370

davido Topic Author Offline User Posts: 1574 Thank you received: 286	Riddle me this. Is there such a thing as 'winter tyres' for a bike? I know this is a common thing on cars but Ive never heard anyone switching tyres on a bike when the weather turns. www.kzrider.com/forum/11-projects/594313-csr1000-project-build CB550 (1978) CB500/4 (1972)* KZ1000CSR (1981) XT 600E (1999) TDM900 (2003)

By winter tyres I'm assuming that you're suggesting a tire that has softer rubber to give better grip on wet and snowcovered surfaces.
Back in the day I valued a tire that would run longer. But now that I'm older and have several bikes to choose from I prefer a tire that sticks better. I wonder if anyone makes a tire with a softer compound and a grippy tread pattern?
