wet,greasy road/new tyres lethal?

[Flashman2001]

I always try to change my tyres between spring and autumn period and also do it on a dry day!

Then I take 100 miles to run them in - gradually increasing the lean angle as I near this figure - works well

I always thought that the 'running in' period was to allow the various plies in the tyre to bed in and prevent overheating (and possible de-lamination) through initially high internal friction.

Scrubbing the tyre is only one of the issues we contend with when fitting new tyres.

I always treat new tyres gently for the first 100 miles or so, gradually increasing the speed.

Turning right at a T-junction this morning 100 yards from home the bike suddenly went from under me. Slightly bruised but otherwise ok . Bike's crash bar is scraped and bent and the RH mirror,handguard and side of the top box are scratched but the bike otherwise looks ok.
I checked the road surface afterwards. It was damp and slightly greasy although I have turned right at this junction hundreds of times in all weathers without a problem.
I have just fitted a new front Tourance tyre and this was its first outing . I am wondering if the combination of greasy road and new tyre have caused the slip?
I understand that the manufacturers coat the tyre moulds with oil/release agent to permit removal of the tyre and that some oil/release agent may be left on the tyre when new .
If so how do I remove this stuff before I next venture out?
I am thinking of lightly sanding the tyre.
Any other suggestions?

ride carefully then find a long streach of road, then nail the bugger , the tires will be warm enough to cope with the bends just ride acordinlg to road n weather conditions

this is how i used to scrub in my tyres on the gixer streetfighter

ps i wouldnt listen to my advice ye mite fall off then sue me

Salt laden roads close to zero C can be seriously slippery.

I have had the rear wheel spin up in third gear on an 1150GS shod with Tourance tyres with a few thousand miles on them.

Plenty of very hot soapy water & a wire brush (this is what the local coppers do apparently) or sandpaper as Timolgra suggests.

The first time I had new Tourances fitted, I thought I'd made a massive mistake, but they were fine after I got the wire brush out.
