I can vouch that semi-slicks are not much use in snow. Forgot to swap tyres last night on the station bike, which made for an interesting descent down to the A23 this morning :shock:

Yup, wished I'd grabbed the knobbly-shod MTB this morning instead of the old one with slicks on. Had a hell of a time staying upright on the way from Three Bridges to Manor Royal in Crawley!
