CANNOT stop!

hello all....

so i have been riding 25 generic tyres for the past year or so, using a 48/16 gear or a 48/19 gear, depending on the trip, anyway, i had no problem stopping the bike either way.


About a month ago i changed to 23 gatorskin tyres, its been wet here for like the last 2 months so i havent noticed any problems stopping the bike BUT today it was dry and i just COULD NOT stop. the bike just seems to jump out of control whenever i try, whether im running the 16 or 19t cog.
Im Baffled. I didnt think they would be so grippy....i ended up having to zip home and put on a brake for the first time in a year....
Has anyone found these tyres to be particularly hard to skid on?
