Does anyone have experience riding a Dawes Lightning 1000 during the winter? It comes with 700x25 slicks, but I'm wondering if I can put 700x32 treads (or thicker) on this. I live in central NY with lots of lake-effect snow and commute ~5-10 miles everyday around my college campus. My commute to and from school is up and down a ~20% grade hill.
