well duh!
Had a great night dropping my lovely neice off to the red carpet for her high school dance and started heading the 5 hour trip home into the night and thunder storms. Got about 5 mile and the slippin and sliding began...from previous experience i knew the tyre was a bit ordinary in the wet but i put it down to oil patches and puddles. Stayed in a hotel overnight and took offin the daylight straght up the freeway. Light rain only so thought i'd be ok, carefully wound it up and at hitting about 60mph the backend went sideways like a lacrosse burnout only it never stopped until i did. Thats enough R&D on this tyre - verdict is its a slick and goes great in the dry and looks imho the best substitute for the avon but NEVER to be used in the wet. Looking at it...well DUH AR!
