I'd love to be able to justify buying studded tyres and an MTB!
to quote sheldon brown ..
"In the absence of studded tires for frozen lakes without a snow crust, slick tires are better than ones with miniature automobile tread because they give more contact surface, thereby reducing contact pressure and slip."
So i guess slicks are better than mtb tyres
I am currently using my hybrid with 26x1.5 scawble city jets that are semi slick till the weather picks up i feel a bit safer on it although it may be all in my mind
