Dodging the rain

And that is the point, they do not wear out, and they do not puncture, so other than the occasional fractured hip, all is good.

Neither do Marathon+, and they don't have the grip issues.

I use them on teh back

they slide around on mud but elsewhere they work fine and they are basically made for roads so sliding on wet mud is expected

I have read that they feel bad but they are OK to me on my bike - OK ebike but whatever

I had a pair of M+ once that must have had some packing compound or something on when I first rode them because they were insanely slippy on my first test ride but settled down when they wore in.

I suspect that in all makes of tyres, the wider the tread the less slippage. My best bike will only take 25's and the second best will take 32's. I have never slipped - skidded on the 32's. Both have Gatorskins.

Putting the last 2 post together - do gatorskins have a coating??

Gators aren't known as the best for grip 'apparently'. I've had some on the CX bike on the tyres it came with when I bought it second hand, and they have been fine - done a big hilly 130 mile sportive on them. Not cheap tyres, roll OK. I'll replace when they age - they won't get worn out as it's on road wheels for the CX bike, which usually does the fat tyres for most of the year.
