When cycling in the winter in icy or snowy conditions, you need proper tiers. I've used Schwalbe Marathon Winter for three seasons now. You can read more about them her. They are excellent on snowy and icy roads, but they also work fine on dry tarmac. I've used different brands before, and although some of them are better in extreme conditions, I find these to be the best for my use. These tiers I put on as soon as I see a chance for black ice. I don't wait and take chances; why? because the drag is almost like summer tiers.
Some feel they need wider tiers in the winter. I disagree with that. I ride on roads that are either icy or with hard packed snow. I need a good grip, not to float on top of the snow.
