Like I said, extenuating circumstances. Descending Chalkpit in the wet. Petrol on a corner. A slippy off-camber corner that had a few other people wobbling too.
However, I ride my other bikes a similar amount in similar conditions and have never had an issue. I feel like 47c tyres run at ~20 psi shouldn’t really be slipping out at all on tarmac...

I didn't see the comment above. I guess it depends - there's always some limit to grip - could it be rolling onto the sidewall when cornering at such low psi?
I slept in this morning so didn't have a chance to roll to work on these tyres. I've got them at 40psi though. Think they probably should come down to more like 30psi. 20 is very unlikely for my fat ass.

Fuck me those 650Bx47mm WTBs are slow! It's like riding through mud.
hippy
In what scenario? dirt? cornering? wet road? standing up climbing?
