its not me GTS andy, its me maj 250, I went out this morning, new tyres, contis, on a wet shiney right hand bend it drifted out, I shit myself. The tyres had done 50 miles, and I know I wasn't entering the bend too fast, so why did it drift?? It felt light at the front end all morning, so I thought too much air, but no, there was 25 in the front tyre, ?? theres got to be a reason for this????

Mark, you said it yourself... New Tyres. They will need a good road scrubbing to lose their 'newness', probably another 100 or 150 miles will help.

Remember that tyre pressures should be checked cold if possible. When a tyre is hot, after a run for example, it can read several psi higher than cold. So 30psi cold could read 33psi hot and vice versa.

I've got 2 ways of checking my tyre pressures - one on the foot pump and a dedicated tyre pressure gauge. Neither of them show the same reading.
