Winter Tyres, what are we thinking?

Post Body

So, this winter will be my first commuting with the Brompton and I live in a decidely hilly, and potentially icy/snowy area. Last winter, and after one rather hairy "planned" downhill crash on the non-foldable bike, I invested in some spiked Schwalbe tyres which prevented any further spills.

Has anyone here mounted spiked tyres on their Brompton? I think I've spotted them on offer on various sites, but am more concerned by the mudguard clearance for them. Any advice, tips or tricks?
