First extra wheel set will be carbon with a gravel tire and after reading these posts, a 45mm Shwalbe tubeless. This way i can play with pressure and see what the fuss is about
have not decided on second set. Either a dedicated studded winter or a skinny summer road. Waiting to see how this winter goes with the Marathon plus 38 and the tubeles 45mm
An option for your second wheelset is to have a couple of different tires available, and swap them out depending on your season - studded for winter, fast road for summer. Changing tires every ride would be a pain in the ass, but a couple times per year isn't a big deal.
