I need to get some new wets for next year for my Clubsport, ran old Matadors this year which felt horrendous.
I run the Dunlop slicks but wondered whether the Dunlop wets are any good?
I don't need to run the Dunlops as am not doing the Radical championship but just wondered how others have found them.

Thanks

Martin

Seem bloody good on my PR6. I qualified about 5.6 seconds slower at a wet Snetterton (on a 1.18secs something) than I managed with year old slicks the time before in the dry, which I thought was pretty good.

So that's really annoying, that was just about my dry time last week in my clubsport! Mind you, first time out, old tyres, cold, crap driver biggrin

Dunlop (Radical) wets are awesome! They don't last more than a few laps on a dry track though

Simon, I was surprised just how little wear they showed after two damp, rather than soaking wet races. Very impressed!

I guess that'll be the difference between wet (ie some water) and dry (ie no water) smilesmile

Indeedy! Keeping the rubber temperature down I guess.

Thanks guys, just wanted some reassurance that they are not crap.

Do they need a light scrub before using in the wet or are they ok straight away?

Seemed pretty good almost straight away to me.
