Stupid question?? was created by davido
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.

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?
