Depends what you're looking for I guess.

I suspect that Mary's or even Shredda's will be the radial tyre of choice over the winter, depending on where you're riding and how much pedalling you're doing. The Albert is a bit more of a middle ground kind of tread, works better into the drier and rockier conditions, where we all know the Mary performs in typical UK conditions (and why it has been so popular) and then the Shredda is really for those who want all of the traction all of the time in soft natural conditions.

I've asked Paul at Oxford if he can do anything on Shreddas.

Looking at a pair of them for the “Hanger Queen”.
