OK... T1-S it is then. It will be such a relief to get rid of these godawful Ziex 512's. |

It is not so much cornering, it is that sometimes the T1-S tires just lose it completely. My guess is that the rubber additive they use has trouble with either coolant or oil on a wet road. At least, it seems to happen where those seem likely to be present. For the rest, I am just as confident with the T1-S tires as with the ES-100. And despite talks of Needles in haystacks, we do have a lot of rain where I live in Florida.
