I've got two SMP's lying around, a 28mm and a 32mm.
I'm thinking of doing some local touring as snow hasn't come yet this year. It's wet and windy, occasional frost in the mornings and small patches of ice and frozen leaves. Perfect touring weather in other words!
I'm debating whether the wider tire on the front - or back - will have any relevant advantage/disadvantage; traction on slippery surface, braking etc.
I have two rear panniers, rack-bag and handlebar bag. Pretty light, (not UL) and a bit heavier with winter gear of course.
The bike is a Bob Jackson World Tour, normally I ride Gatorskins or Hardshells 28 mm but I think the SMP's will be better in these conditions.
I'm absolutely not going to buy different tires, or front panniers, so can we keep alternative suggestions out of this? Cheers
Thanks for any advice!
