Whatever you do, do not put race tires on the road. They are not meant for that and sooner or later you will find out why. They do grip well and will wear rather fast and need to be replaced more often. The major concern is that they have minimal tread depth, do not shed water well and will loose traction on a wet surface in a hurry. Racers change to wet tires for the specific reason that the dry tires do not handle well in the wet, and I am not talking just pouring rain, a wet track after a rain is dangerous with dry tires until it dries out. You will see race cars staying in second gear for laps on a wet track. I did a 360 on a straight with my Hoosiers in second gear with a gentle application of the throttle on a wet track.

I know that most cobra drivers swear that they will never take their car out in the rain, so it is not an issue. But, unless it is a garage queen, and therefore it does not really matter, sooner or later you will encounter a wet road surface and that can be dangerous for you and other drivers on the road. I'm done.

Avon's are the way to go.

Bob,

From the movie there's a line that jumps to mind when i hear (read) someone saying they spin ten year (or more) old tires:

"You've got to ask yourself a question: 'do I feel lucky?' "

Yet another meaning for today's commonplace "stay safe..."
