Exactly Snoops, even with the winters still on and traction control on, it is still not very grippy at all even when its damp........how odd !
In a weird twist the standard Bridgies feel more grippy (only during the current season conditions and not during the winter)

Hmm.....?

If you are still running winter tyres, with the warmer temperatures we've been having recently...I'm not surprised you have no grip!
Winter tyres only work when the temperature is 5 degrees C or below...above that, you just wear them out.

Ahh, I see. When I was having them fitted back in October, the fitter said that many keep the winters on all year, so I assumed that I'd get better grip even during the warmer times......thanks for the update
