I mean I understand the principal of sliding when sudden and tight pressure is put on a brake. I've experienced this in a car as a teenager and on my bike before hand. But the issue that is happening that I should have clarified more is the fact that it is literally sliding when I brake even at slow speeds. For example, I was inching behind a car at a stop light, and with hardly any speed I of course began to slide and had to dismount in order not to tap their rear bumper. In my head I was like, what the fu*k is this? I have never experienced this sensation of sliding on ice on perfectly good pavement and a new tire. The only thing I can honestly deduce is the tire because I have never experienced this and it's not like my riding style all of a sudden changed in a day. What I'm asking is if the tire being usually worn is a possibility. I'm not saying that I could do a better job at braking, and the way I ride, but today I got that, "I shouldn't even be on my bike in these conditions," feeling. I mean, it will virtually slide at almost any (harder) pulling I do of the brakes. I definitely do not think this is a normal phenomenon.

I may just be going crazy and be completely wrong here, but is it a possibility it's the tire?
