I don't like the SEs in the wet. I fell in the frigging parking lot the first time I rode them in the rain and then wound up drifting a couple of corners. Threw them away, since this is the PNW. But they're fine in the dry, though I think they flat more easily than the Tricomps.

Do you think the straight Fortezzas cut less than the Tricomps? I've heard that the Quattro Tricomps are poor in the wet, in spite of the rhetoric.
