I have to back up what's already been said that avon vyper strykes are crap! I'd go on to say they're actually dangerous no grip in wet/cold conditions at all. I fitted a set to my old aprilia atlantic & wished I'd skinted myself to stretch to city grips. I love michelin city grips fantastic grip in all conditions & don't fit anything else now.

100% down to the tyres! There was a surface change that initiated it but I've been over the same patch 1000's of times with the City Grips and no issues.
