slippy tyres

[sr_steve]

Basically on a motorway at 70 my tyres feel greased and slippy as if I'm on ice and I'm wondering why. I have brand new fallen tyres 12". Last time I looked I'm sure falkens were a decent tyre. Any solutions ?

I've always been told to take it easy on brand new tyres at least for the first few hundred miles...don't brake too, fast accelerate too fast etc...
if they're that new they just sort of need a little breaking in ^_^

Thanks, didn't think of that lol

 

[Jen319]

No problem...just take it easy for a couple weeks, maybe a month (depends how much mileage you do i guess )

better safe then sorry ... LOL
