One point I missed earlier - on the front tyre there is a strip on the shoulder that is almost completely tread-free.
This wasn't the case on the Pirellis that we used before.
So at a certain angle of lean we're running on slicks.
How can that make safe RACING on a wet track?
We're not talking riding home carefully when the heavens open, we're talking about corners like Coram, Gerards, Clearways etc etc where you have to carry some lean.

Maybe we should be allowed to cut the tyres? Then those who think the tyres could do with more water dispersal for the wet could do so?
