Just added 18'' Rims with Toyo Proxies to my MC with SS. The grip that you get around corners is 100 times more than I am used to.

However the other day it rained hard and it was my first time in the wet with these tyres. Expecting them to handle the rain with ease

, but I found the car wanted to whellspin and understeer at every oppurtunity. It felt like my oldskool Pirelli RF's Could have handeled better.

Point is... Has anybody else experienced the same thing in the rain with the proxies?
