That is exactly what I don't swap wheels. I just put on the W106's this past weekend because there was snow in the forecast this week. Luckily the stuff stayed about 20 miles south of here. Too often the weather conditions will change around here and you get suprised with some nasty precipitation. Yes I now feel like a weak rider as I have to work HARD to average 2.5 MPH slower than on my Summer 32mm clicks, but being cought off guard by some frozen precipition just once can realy ruin your riding season.
Happy riding... I no longer need to ride so far, the tires are providing lots of extra work
