as long as they have over 4mm of tread they'll be great, just avoid standing water.
No, they are fine so long as the rears have the most tread and minimum the fronts is road leagal..
My rears are almost as good as new after doing about 10 days on them. The fronts are shagged and are no longer road legal. They were fine at TVL in the heavy rain we had there, a bit understerry but never oversteered. Throttle control is whats its about. You soon adapt your driving style to how they are feeling.
Mike knows what bald R888's are like in the wet as he came out with me.
Just ashame I'm missing tomorrow.

It's not rained since last night and has been overcast all day which is meant to continue tomorrow.
If it does rain it shouldn't be for long
