DiamondBack tyres

Should be banned. They are the worst tyres i've ever used and are dangerous. Just about make it around a corner in the dry but in the wet you've no chance. 15/20mph on a wet corner the backend lets go massively. Avoid roundabouts if possible.
Got Goodyears on the front, had Wanli's on the back until i got a flat and needed to change it that day (screw in sidewall
) The wanli's was amazing compared to these shitty crappy things, even had nangkangs on the back which could actually grip on a wet road.
I actually get nervous coming up to a corner in the wet these things are so bad. Pressures have all been checked and are fine. Nothing changed except the back tyres and now i had massive oversteer. No fun on a busy roundabout with cars/vans etc next to you.

Yes i know pay for what you get but these was cheap and i needed them that day. Other budgets have been fine on the rear as i dont go crazy round corners but always have good tyres up fornt.
