Northwind has a point. The roads at the moment have a very noticeable 'sheen' of various crap.

Aye, only vaguely related, but I nearly binned it on the road bike several times today, including a big front wheel slide when I braked at a junction, the roads are stupidly slippery. Need a bit of rain to clear them off.

Blazing - might be worth contacting the manufacturer as it does sound like your pressures may be too high.

He's said several times he's trying different pressures in his defence!

Yup I know but sometimes pressure needs to vary dramatically depending on load etc. Even my car has a variation of 8-10 psi depending on load and speed, even more if they are a different size.

Happy to report they are now starting to behave like I wanted, dropped around 10 psi from std, don't think that actually made much difference tbh.

Good stuff. What pressure are you running?

Just for some contrast, my BMW 520 now has Nokian WR A 3 s on, first couple hundred miles and they were a bit pooh, but they've settled down now, it's also too bloody warm (stupid weather).. I have a second set of alloys as well btw.
