The 5 Best Winter Bike Tyres for your Ride this Season

To get yourself ready for the racing season, it’s imperative that you get on the bike throughout the winter. With the bad weather, cold rides and dark nights drawing in, it’s probably a good idea to invest in some reliable winter bike tyres to take you through some pretty tough riding conditions. Luckily, we have a list of 5 of the best winter bike tyres that we sell at ProBikeKit that’ll do the job!

Winter road bike tyres have many benefits that keep you going in these tough conditions. They are strong enough to prevent punctures, they have a sterdy grip to withstand wet and frosty roads, amongst other qualities to make them as tough as can be to keep you safe whilst out riding.

I'm a runner at heart but since shin splints became a big part of my life, I turned to cycling as a form of cross training. I love riding track and am a regular on the Manchester velodrome; on the road I ride a Trek Lexa and I call it Toby.
