Brompton Wheels in the wet........

[GM]

A colleague of mine and I have both slipped and fell on glossy-concrete during un-seasonally wet weather this Summer in London, both using Bromptons. What is the consensus view on small wheels versus standard wheels in the wet? Brompton tyres are broad enough and the rubber contacting the ground seems very similar to me! Anybody have an opinion? Has a study ever been done? Thanks!

I use M+'s, and they do slide around in the wet or on soggy leaves. I just go a bit slower and be prepared to put a foot down.
