Makes sense. Thanks.

If you ever get a chance to ride on real rains, prepare to be amazed. The only time I ever have, or ever will, pass a BMW S1000RR.....

The tire guy laid some wisdom on me: "With rains you can lean as far as you want, accelerate as much as you want and brake as hard as you want. The trick is that you can do only one of those things at any given time."

The biggest problem with doing slicks-plus-rains is the hit-or-miss weather we get up here. They absolutely paid for themselves this past year, but I did wind up riding on a drying track with them fitted a couple of times. Didn't want to risk losing it on the slicks.
