After much discussion on the forums about winter tyres for tarmac and ice, I have decided to go the DIY route.
I was using Specialised trail tyres, frosted forks shows a typical dusting of ice and hard frost,
Using an old Tioga slick tyre, I masked off the centre and coated with an industrial adhesive, before rolling the partially inflated tyre in coarse grit/sand.
should be interesting, already had a trial run and seems to be doing the job I don't expect the coating to last indefinitely but should get me through this winter and keep me upright
