Hey bud, I'm an all weather rider and iv never had a problem with the tyres only time i had a slip was on a mini roundabout and I don't think any tyre would have gripped through the nice hidden oil there haha

All in i say they are a fantastic set of tyres dry is spot on and wet is bloody good!

They seem pretty good, wet or dry, to me

I have managed to lock the rear at low speed in the wet, I think that's just a heavy foot on the brake, not a shortcoming of the tyre.

Same as the new members reply  I reckon they're pretty good, wet or dry, even without the major brand name.

Hi, mid-winter riding here in NZ, I have the standard tyres that came with my BigRed. No problems so far in the wet/rain/storms etc. I always watch pressure weekly as was taught - I don't want to change them yet as they appear excellent for commuting mon to fri.

Yep, can't fault mine.  Neither can my dogs who take great joy in pissing on them when I'm not looking.

I assume we all have the same tyres ?, I have had no problem with the tyres as yet but have not rode in rain ....yet.

Same as Wayne above, riding through the winter here in NZ, daily commute and they are fine.

Was in a downpour last thurs and had a rear wheel lock up but more down to poor technique than the tyres.....

The tyres are pretty good. Had a minor slip on a man hole cover while turning in the rain, but other than that no issues what so ever. On another note, we had a torrential downpour here yesterday and I thought I was riding an eduro bike. There was a mini lake in the middle of the road and the bike went through it like a g 650 gs  . Love the bike. Done 900 miles so far and the ride is getting smoother.
