Default sliding d220's

The weather is barmy here in the Midlands 75 c , The d220's are really hot howver still sliding when right over , got 2 mm left on tyres , but really don't feel like I can push them any harder without coming a cropper .
Any one got confidence in the 220's to get right to edges of tyres?
Just wondering ..

Cheers Steve

They're great! Getting it sideways coming out of a corner - woohoo - almost as good as landing on your face off a roundabout in the rain...

Chaned my standards at about 5k, weather got better but the tyres just did'nt cope.

Z6's are a vast improvement.

The dry weather performance is OK IMHO.

Winter performance is awful. Keep 'em for the summer...going in the November thou.

Difficult to get heat in them, see?
