New tyre bed in period?
Discussion
Having just had a new Dunlop Qualifier fitted i'm finding it VERY slippy turning into junctions at the most cautious of speeds. I nearly had an off this morning doing about 15 mph with the mildest of leans, it was wet though.
Is this expected with a new tyre or is it to with the fact they fitted the cheapest tyre they had despite me asking for the best, whatever it cost.

I should have said it was the front that was replaced along with the head bearings and fork seals, if that makes any difference.
I'm not sure if it is sliding or not. Its a sensation i havent felt before the change, its like it goes really smooth like being on ice and a wobble.
It cant be a track tyre as the invoice says £70 which must be entry level at that price. Also the Dunlop website only mentions the Sportmax Dunlop so it must be one of those.

It is a Dunlop SportMax Qualifier. Which is a road tyre:

So far it has done 70 miles and has behaved no problem in the dry. Just in the wet it feels way unstable.
I'll see what it feels like in 100 miles or so.
