we're pretty much there weather updates, at least they'll offer you a nice hot drink or water while your waiting for a signature, i love my yob,especially in the rain,no need for rain gear,just some shorts and a nice wool sweater.

I love when you walk into a office dripping wet, and get greeted with "is it raining out there?" Happens every time.

well i've found if its rainy but not snowy its better to flatten out 10 psi less than normal... but with snow, normal psi cuts thru the snow down to the ground and grips.

I was a messenger in Mpls and the only parts I swapped out for winter was my fenders (full fenders to tail feather style because the snow accumulates and snaps the full coverage). As long as there is something solid underneath the slop, normal road tires are the way to go. Big tires float all over the place and significantly decrease snow and power. 700x23-25@95-110psi.

I totally agree, I live in Wisconsin and when the snow starts I like riding on cross tires at the very least. If it's really bad I rock full on mountain tires. I prefer the high pressure skinnies but when when there's snow and ice I can't hack high pressure tires.

Are High PSI tires better? I'm in Seattle where we don't see much snow. But I would think you would want some thick wide low psi tires. What do you think?
