   i have recently just getting myself some new alloyw which came with brand new tyres.
   
   They wer slippy at first but after approx 50-100miles of driving they are spot on
   
   Mine are budget tyres but tbh i rate them over toyo's that i have previously had!
   
   If your a little unsure get the front wheels spining up on a dry road, takes the shine off the top of the tread, although not sure if you can get a 1.1 spinning..... lol

   backing up previous post, wear them in, take it easy you dont want to bin it, weather crap shinny tyres not good. get some miles on them and spot on. also the wheels are soo skinny on a 1.1 you dont get a great deal of grip even when the tyres are at peak life

   when tyres are made they get coated in a film of resign to stop them from cracking and the rubber perishing over time when there in storage (similar to that tyre black stuff that you can buy to make em look wet) this makes em really slippy especially when wet! but this wears off in around 200 miles max, just take it steady 4 abit
