    I think the OP was inadvertently hitting the accelerator, not the brakes.

    Only logical explanation for this scenario that I can see!

    Until I could change them(in couple of weeks most), I was driving 20-30% slower than I normally do on wet motorway

    It might have been more risk driving at 80kph on straight road while everyone else is doing 120+, than the difference in tyres presented. Did you expect to spin out of control?

    Nice cherrypicking sir.

    Thanks for the warning. From now on, I will either drive at 120+ km/h on roads or stay at home.

    So how do you pick which tyre to buy other than the price ?

    dont really put that much thought into it

    I used to buy goodyear, dunlop semperit, zeetex tyres

    paid a lot and paid very little

    I can honestly say in different driving conditions I have never once noticed the difference.

    tyres are tyres


    drive correctly at all times and thats about it

    "Tyres are tyres" So what you're saying is that despite the laws of physics, all tyres will perform basically the same regardless of composition. In what field of engineering did you study?

    And what if the unexpected does happen, due to the actions of someone else even? You don't think that giving yourself the very best chance of avoiding a crash is at all valuable?
