Hi guys,

As said in title I'm buying my first road bike soon and want some all weather tyres which are the gripiest if possible

Thanks

The fatter the better and don't pump them up rock hard. Slick or tread doesn't matter either.

That's what i use and I am happy. If that makes any difference.
Anecdotal evidence. A few weeks ago 6 of us were out and it was icier than expected. Only one never had an off. Guess who? :P
Last week I set off from the office in cold but doable conditions. But that was city centre. 2 miles out I hit a 2 mile stretch of pure snow & ice on an often busy road. I was a complete nervous wreck by the end but the tyres never stepped out once.

Thanks

daviesee - I've seen them on wiggle for a pair inc inner tubes for £72, worth a punt?!

You may be able to get them cheaper but with the convenience factor (account already set up) and the inner tubes, that's how I replaced my last set.

I bought a pair on Saturday from http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/m77/k373/continental.html?od=&ft=1 for just under 60euros (can't remember delivery cost c5euros I think). Used the website before, and recommend them.

I ride Schwalbe Ultremo ZX DD all year round. Awesome tyre in all conditions. Can get for around €29 a pop at http://www.bike24.de.
