I just switched tires on my Miyata 710 winter bike to Tioga Bloodhounds cross tires and I love them so far. There's a fresh layer of granular snow out on the roads this morning, so we'll see how they deal with this type of snow, but in the powder the other morning, they were very comfortable (and comforting) to have below me. (I'm in Salt Lake City, btw, for reference). I did have to pull the fenders off, too much tire for the space with them on. I'll take wet over a crash, though.
