we just use 888's in the wet as we find them pretty damn good (if they have decent tread depth left)

'Wet' just tend to be 'cut' slicks.....

as far as I know, yes...

They just groove slicks to their desired tread patterns.... you can buy them though. Compound of the tyre will prob be different too

day was fine....

Took it easy most of the day, but started to open it up towards the end and then got thrown off track for noise issues :S hehe

Then had a wee fire in the car on the way home, police, fire brigade etc


will post more on it later, and some vids.

Long Weekend!
