Winter Tyres

I know there is a ton of info about, but searching for tyres is always hard, I'm just after some quick advice for some good winter tyres. I have a set of Vittoria Rubino Pros in the loft, but I'm not convinced they'll fit my tri bike perfectly as the wheels are so narrow. I run Michelin Pro 3s and love them, have done many many miles on them without trouble, but I obviously now want something a bit more grippy as I'm looking ahead to the ice/wet roads of the winter commute. Or...should I just get a new set of Pro 3s?

I run gators year round on my commuter due to increased puncture protection..."And the Lord said unto Cain, 'where is Abel thy brother?' And he said, 'I know not: I dropped him on the climb up to the motorway bridge'."

I've been very fortunate with my Pro 3s, I've done over 1500 miles on these, and literally this morning had my first puncture. Of course I should have replaced them a long time ago, but still..0

The new Ultremo DD should be a good option for a more 'winter resistant' quality race tyre, Pro 3 Grip may also work (certainly claims the grip but is it any more puncture resistant?).
I'd normally recommend Vittoria Pave's but on a Tri bike I'd probably go for the Pro 3 Grip.0 -
