Which tyres for slippery winter commutes

[counterofbeans]

I commute on a Colnago CX bike currently on Vittoria Randonneur tyres

I have two spare sets of wheels, one of which has a set of knobbly cx tyres and the other has a set of Schwalbe Winter studded tyres (the lightly studded ones)

My question is which wheels/tyres to use this coming winter when conditions are either frosty or snowy or icy and I cannot be sure which roads/cycle paths have been treated. I would swap wheels/tyres on a daily basis if necessary (only takes a minute)

Also what tyre pressures to use for each set

Any advice from regular winter commuters much appreciated!

I cycle more or less everyday & i've only had one puncture in the last six months or so & i'm a large chap too.


Schwalbe durano plus all day long for me.

Ok...wasn't primarily concerned with puncture protection, more with not falling off when road conditions are slippy...
