Strada Pro HTLR to blame for my crash?

Came off today, going round a corner at about 17-20mph. Surface was slightly damp in some areas from overnight air (no rain) and the bike just went from under me. I’ve been round this particular corner loads of times throughout winter and summer but not before on these tyres…

Anyone else use them and think they are no good in anything but bone dry conditions or was I just unlucky? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t oil or anything and I was following a friend who needless to say did not come off.

Wait are they really called the Strada Pro HTLR?

Tyres not necessarily to blame. Also have used them. No problems. Crashed before on an autumnal corner on an over-inflated Barlow pass at too quick for the conditions. Sometimes shit just happens. And yes @Northwind they are hitler tyres ?

Over inflated you say, 700×30,  I had them at 55 with a TPU tube in. I did wonder if 50 might have been a better choice but that seemed a bit low considering tyre pressure calculators were suggesting 60 plus. It wasn’t a sharp corner though and I wasn’t leant over far at all. Pretty sure both wheels let go simultaneously although can’t be sure of that as it happened so fast.

Is it a summer tyre?

“The Challenge Strada Pro HTLR is an overall strong performer in our tests but its main weakness appears to be wet grip of both the center and edge (cornering) of the tire.

Yeah I read that but assumed that meant wet, wet rather than moist… I’m thinking not now though and  certainly won’t be using them again unless it’s bone dry. I’m tempted to bin them but they’ve only done about 100 miles and they’re not cheap… however they are cheaper than the knackered SRAM Red AXS levers and derailleur that are now pretty worse for wear. Not to mentioned my ripped clothing and battered helmet…

Blaming kit for a crash is a bit lame unless it fails catastrophicly.

You’re skills underplayed your assumptions of your kit.

Wait are they really called the Strada Pro HTLR?

Why are road tyre names so damn serious?
