I prefer gatorskins, hardshells or 4-Seasons. SMP's are tanks
Like I said:

"Best thing against flats is a tyre that can support your weight with a pressure under 4 bars."

Pack a pair of latex gloves - they will help with the cold.

Besides, 90% of flats happen when it's raining, not when it's snowing.
