Nearly Came Off In The Wet! Why Did The Sun Leave Us!!??

No issues with sliding Vittorias. Keep it slow and upright on the bends

What HLaB said is right, but we've had enough rain to wash th eroads now.

Oil on the surface will get any tyre sliding, white paint in the wet is designed to 'off' cyclists, apart from that most tyres are OK in the wet with a bit of extra care, but there are exceptions. Sounds as if yours are among the exceptions. Knobblies on wet tarmac tend to slide a lot though.

Why sun? Why did you forsake us?

Bloody Tories. For the cuts thread I can safely say I have noticed the cuts

It doesn't matter how expensive your tyres if you hit a spot of diesel spilt by a lorry, on a roundabout.

Don't know those tyres, but are they more road racing in the dry type tyres?

If they are known to not really be suitable in the wet, definitely recommend trying Contentintal 4-seasons. Good puncture protection, too.
