Frequently asked questions
How is a wet tyre different from an intermediate tyre?
The wet tyre is designed to clear large amounts of water and is suited to heavy rain or very wet tracks, while the intermediate is intended for less severe or mixed conditions.
Why does a wet tyre become disadvantageous as the track dries?
Its deep grooves and soft construction can cause it to overheat on a dry surface, making it less efficient and less grippy than a dry-weather tyre.
