Wet Sprint Tyres
Discussion
I am looking for wet weather sprint tyres for my Striker (it rains a lot here in Scotland)
Avon CR28s have been suggested, anyone got experience/feedback on these, or a suggestion of something better.
I use ACB10s at the moment but they don't look like they would be too good on a wet track.

I have no experience of these tyres so cannot say, sorry.
However will chase about. (Yoko 21's ring a bell as a wet tyre on the 750 club scene, however, george polley talked about 32ss being better in the wet than 21's if less than "standing water" however chassis set up now comes into play.
Me, for the road, wet and squirty, I'd have the 21's track use may put too much heat into them unless standing water isn't a factor so back to 32'ss with full tread.
Obviously you HAVE to work the tyres up to a working temp to have any consistancy in results, and this can (or rather failure to do this) affect perception of how ypur tyres feel in a given enviroment.

CR28 but must be the Sport are the best wet tyre for your car. Everyone used them in 750mc kit cars championship a few years ago when it was allowed to use a wet tyre as well as a dry.
Brilliant in the wet but crap in the dry as they are way too soft and have loads of tread flex so overheat very quickly.
You'll find a huge difference in wet weather performance over the ACB10's as not only do they shift more water but the soft tread means a more gradual and therefore predictable breakaway on the limit.
Proven on the track but would probably make a great all round road tyre given the lower speeds on the roads.
