Ouch...you just confirmed my fears about this tire's wet-weather handling.
The first thing I thought when I got these tires is I'd never ride these in the rain. I'm wary enough going over manhole covers in corners in dry weather. But since my last 2 nasty surprises with rusted componenets on my Swift, I figure I won't be taking the bike out in anything but dry weather anyway.
