Could anyboby recommend a good set of winter tires for the Liberté that would provide good traction in snowy conditions? Thanks!

Hello Eric,
I am currently using Schwalbe Winter Plus 406x1.6. The tires are spiked and therefore excellent for icy conditions or roads packed with snow. They are not suited, of course, for deep snow. There is a wider version. I have chosen the 1.6 because of the narrow rims. So far, I have had no problems.
A note on the tubes. I recommend switching to tubes with Presta valves (and rim hole reducers). Schrader valves are absolutely no fun if you have a flat on the road and need to reinflate with a hand pump.
