Default Re: Bit of sliding today in the wet!

It might have been a smooth patch of tarmac? Puddle? Tyres not warm yet? Bit of Diesel?
I would'nt blame it on the tyres until you have had a couple more moments. Don't forget we have had a drop in temp now so it's not going to be as grippy anyways.

May have found a contributing factor to the tyre situation. The rear seems to have a slow puncture and was not much over half the pressure it should have been. Shall be keeping my eye on the pressure and see if it feels any better. Since posting initially though it's been relatively dry on the roads so hasn't felt as pap!

if its fish tailing your suffering from, it could be too much engine braking on the wet roads. try more brakes less engine
