I've been meaning to ask I can't believe I forgot this last winter has anyone tried out Schwalbe Energizer Plus tires in temps around 20°F or lower? I'm really curious about how they perform when it's chilly, esp in terms of grip and how they feel when riding. I'm planning to give them a go next winter, and I'd love to hear about your expereinces. Thanks a ton for your help
 
I have a cousin in Chicago that had them on his ebike and said that they were solid, as solid as they can be in those conditions. He mainly drove them on snow and they were doing a good enough job, so he plans on getting another set when this one is toast.
 
Haven't tried them in that low temps, but I would say they're decent enough but nothing spectacular. At 20 degrees, to be honest, I don't think you'll have too much luck with any non winter models. The rubber hardens and you're practically riding on plastic.

Schwalbe Energizer Plus tires are great for year-round commuting!
I just swapped them last season and they stayed really grippy on cold pavement!
They're not snow tires, so they won't work miracles on packed snow or ice, but for regular cold-weather commuting on cleared paths, they've been completely reliable for me.
