Yoko 48's aint good in the wet.
I had that "alive feeling" this morning. Heart pumping out my chest when driving alongside a car on a roundabout and the back end steps out. 20mph with opposite lock...phew!

Were they cold AND wet ? I had a passenger ride in Jamies Exige at Knockhill some months ago and they were clingin on for dear life once you got a bit of heat in them.

So just as bad as Maxsports then, but without the noise...

Maxsports are tip-top in the wet*

I've found the AO48's squirmy in the wet but not at 20mph.
Perhaps your just a little lead footed?

I had a nice one tonight coming off the Westhill roundabout heading towards Aberdeen. 2nd gear, acceleration seemed a bit sluggish but not noticable wheelspin...until the 2nd cam...
(not quite 20 mph).
...eased off, a bit of opp. lock and time for 3rd gear methinks...
