I know these tyres are supposed to be good and all but mine just don't have any grip in the wet at all, has anyone else experienced this? It's to the point it's dangerous, the rear end will break away quite viciously without any warning, like driving a westfield!

I run these tyres too but I find the grip to be superb in the dry and pretty good in the wet. I do find however, that once they start to wear, they don't last long at all.
