And sand or gravel or especially mud can be very bad too. (Worst traction I ever saw was a wood bridge deck in the rain, in the shade where moss had grown on the deck. You couldn't even walk across it, and one guy in our group broke his arm trying to ride across.) | |

I think that oil could be the most likely culprit, as I took much faster corners in wet and at a greater angle with the same tires. I put my old tire on the front, just in case. Thanks for your reply, again, really appreciate it. | |
