Having less grippy tyres on the back can cause that. Heat should not make much differernce on road tyres.

What tyres you running? Semi slicks etc. not so good in heavily wet conditions.

goodyear eagles all round. Tread is all good, handeling has been tampered a little, but nothing that would warrent this. Was just a bit strange thats all. Mine always understeers if i am a bit over zealous going into corners, but even so that is not that worrying. Need to get some stuff sorted out on it anyhow, oh well even more reason to get underneath it again.

Eagles are a dry biased tyre really !
