Don't they tend to go away rather quickly? I am hard on my medium compound front. I can't imagine how fast I would go through a soft rain type tire. They should work pretty well in the dirt sections though.

I loved how sticky they were, but I didn't like the wear pattern I had on the front. At highspeed 70-90 while cranked way over in a turn I would get this wiggle in the front end...mind you this was riding on the street.Big Zero said:Don't they tend to go away rather quickly?

Rains are designed to work in the RAIN. They might be sticky for a lap or two in the dry, but will overheat and be more slippery than DOT Race stuff. The wiggle in the front at high speed is the tread blocks moving around, they aren't designed to take the force applied by dry pavement. AMA and FIM guys run slicks or barely-cut slicks at all tracks in the dry, never a rain unless it is raining.

Zzzzzactly ! I must say the rains work well for our Flat/TT track racing as well.....
Yeah, they are the ticket for Flattrack/TT, I must agree. Loam or groove, no problem.
