I found that when I first got them, particularly if it was a bit damp.
I think I said that in a thread on here and got shot down though, not everyone seems to agree!

Agree - have 30c and have definitely got a little more cautious going down hill into corners... sure the older ones were more secure. Might also be from riding 38c G-ones more during the week that ive lost perspective though...

28mm, tubeless, 70psi
How heavy are you? 70psi is a fair amount in a 28mm.

Has anyone noticed that Schwalbe Pro-Ones have poor traction on steep gradients, or am I just imagining it?
On dry roads I've found them to be fine. On really wet roads they're OK. I have found them a handful on damp greasy roads, more so than other similar tyres like Conti GP4/5000s and Vittoria Corsas (the more modern IsoGrip ones not the old Kevlar/SiO2 death compound).

Has anyone noticed that Schwalbe Pro-Ones have poor traction on steep gradients, or am I just imagining it? Often, when I get out of the saddle I find the back wheel is skipping out. This might just be the road conditions at the moment, but for comparison, this current set-up (28mm, tubeless, 70psi), although it feels good in general, seems to be worse in this respect than how I remember my old set-up being in winter (GP4000 25mm tubed, 95psi).
