I was happy just staying upright and out from under those big tires. With a wet road and 2 inches of rubber contact patch on the ground (700x23 @ 120 & 130 psi) I assumed hitting the brakes hard at 22mph would slide me right under the truck. My front tire is a Vredestein Tri-comp which the manufacturer touts as an all condition tire grippy even on wet roads. Been using them for years and this baby really came through for me. Not even a small skid front or rear. (Rear tire is a Continental Gator Hardshell for better puncture protection than my front tire). Shout out to my Campy Chorus brakes too!
