Cant say I have had any incidents in the wet and I do ride all winter. Never had a lock up except for in snow which wouldn't count because you expect that with even the lightest of braking and I was braking for a car that did a stupid u-turn 100 yds from me.
Can not agree with the vibrations either, my bike suffers not one bit more vibration than it did when it had its stock tyres on. Would be interested to hear from others on this.
My lean angles don't suffer however I am not a 'knee down' rider anyway. As for slowing down, I don't ride any slower on TKC's than I did on my other tyres which if my memory serves me were Metzelers.
For me a great all round tyre that does road riding well and off road riding brilliantly. My only gripe is that the back doesn't last as long.

I second that Do i ride slower ? No yes they will lock if you snatch the brake hard like youre trying to make them lock under normal hard breaking there fine . The only vibration i get is upto 8 mph as youre dropping bettween the knobs at very slow speed. And very ocatiinaly u can spin the ass up comning off a roudabout but when i chnaged to knobs for winter i was scared. But found out there pretty amazing cosidering the amount of tims people tell you how bad they are on wet tarmac
