well, i think one of your front tyre is on the white line. Agree that GR80 is bad in wet grip. I'm now on firehawk, so far so good.

If don't keep safe following distance ... esp in the wet, any tyre can also have the same result.

 

How come no abs activation?

[Popok]

yeah i agree..gr80 is a good enuff tyre.imho.

were u following close?if u were, dont expect any tyre to save from banging..

Hankook K415

Rated 2nd in Wet weather! Good stuff! (:

i think the impt thing is that it skid

 

perhaps the tyres are already Old?

did your tyres rotation?

 

also there can be a possibility of slight oil spill on road,

uneven brake pressure...

 

thus try to E brake on a very deserted rd... very deserted.

if it does skid again. good to check brakes, and prehaps

a tyres change.

 

although i'm on Hankook K415, the wet is more than satisfactory,

i reckon GR80 is pretty good as well.

 

just IMHO

 

cheers

was considering GR80 for comfort and hope to lower down some road noise.

thats not quite true. Some tyres feels like metal on wet roads. It's a scary feeling. After those experiences (I had my fair share), I realised I rather go for those noisy but sticky tyres.

try michelin mx1.. very good. just installed in my ride. tried a few day in the heavy rain, super... grip on dry also very good...no regret.

[Zippaboy]

how does this compares to MXV8 or GR80?

 

price wise?

 

thanks.

Sure you only on 60km/hr ? GR80 skidded ? How wet ? Heavy or drizzling ? How long have you used your GR80 ?

[Fondue]

I had the same experience with my 2mth old GR-80.

Wet grip is definitely not as good as the BR380.

[Voodooman]

I am on 225/50/17 GR80 for about 1 year, so far so good. I think the wet grip is acceptable for its class (ie. more comfort than performance).

[Zippaboy]

is the GR80 really that bad?

 

been driving quite aggressively in the wet with my stock B391, wet grip still reasonably good.

[Fcw75]

Your car can skipped?

 

Anyway, GR-80 is not that bad lah. Perhaps there was some oil on the road?
