Wets are for safety when RACING in the wet. These are road tyres which can be used in anger when dry with bikes of our power. When very wet the slip resistance is hugely decreased and there is no way the manufacturer would suggest they are suited to racing in that weather.

A bike with slicks on "could" go round in the wet and Im sure if you made it you "might" feel a better, smoother rider. But this is racing, not a competition of who can get the bike back to the paddock in one piece.

However I do understand that DD is more about ducktape and cable ties rather than wets and warmers.
