The best winter road tyres will keep you rolling through the cold and wet weather. Winter training and commuting are hard enough without worrying about fixing a flat with frozen fingers on a dark road.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, there\u2019s never been a better selection of winter road bike tyres, combining trustworthy all-weather performance with everyday survivability. To make your life easier we\u2019ve rounded up some of the best winter road tyres available as rated by the BikeRadar testing team.<\/p>\n
The key to these real-world advances has been the combination of technologies from seemingly very different areas.<\/p>\n
Tyre compounds and layups developed for racing use in wet conditions deliver a balance of late braking, hard-turning grip and rolling speed.<\/p>\n
Puncture protection technology has also moved on a great deal (we certainly don\u2019t miss puncture protection strips<\/a>) and is now largely achieved by multi-ply composites used originally in bulletproof vests. This means you can now have a barrier between road debris and your inner tube without feeling like there\u2019s wood in your tyres.<\/p>\n While it may be tempting to pair your winter wheels with the heaviest-duty tyre you can handle lugging about, puncture-proof tyres really have got a lot better in recent years, so it\u2019s worth delving into our longer reviews to see whether one may work for you.<\/p>\n Tubeless tyre tech has taken off on the road too, giving you the advantage of some extra protection on winter roads. If you\u2019re still regularly plagued by punctures, it may be worth investigating whether or not converting to road tubeless tyres<\/a> could work for you. Even adding a bit of the best tyre sealant<\/a> to your inner tubes<\/a> can help.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a faster summer tyre, you may be interested in our round-up of the best road bike tyres<\/a>.<\/p>\nBest winter road bike tyres as tested by BikeRadar<\/h2>\n
