At first i attributed this to possibly being the tires, but after reading your post i'm glad to see i was wrong.



Well, not entirely wrong. The stock Bridgestones are, to quote the installer who put my new Avon Venoms on today, "horrible tires." Surely the Progressives will take care of 75% of the slipping and sliding (they did for me), but you will need a change of tires to take care of the other 25%. The Bridgestones would look at home on a bike intended to be ridden straight up, while the Venoms are more of a sport-touring tire.

It just never ends, does it?
