Yes

But do riders of our standard understand how to use wets? when they will work and when they will chew up and certainly not last a season. Can our speeds in the wet get them up to temp? These are not road tyres which are easy to get heat in? (I dont know just asking)

In principle I am 100% for it after watching Race 1 from the pitwall, it look pretty scary for all (except Ron).

Plus the cost of the repairs to dropped bikes at these wet races will more than cover the cost of wets.

I dont really understand why we arent using them? I understand the reason not to have warmers & slicks but wets were designed to keep people racing in the rain. Road tyres are designed to get you home in the rain by driving like Miss Daisy.
