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.
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.
....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

So just as bad as Maxsports then, but without the noise...
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

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...
