The weather looks great.
http://www.weather.com/activities/other/ot...fcst_undeclared I'm taking an evo school tomorrow. I can use either 275/40/17 V710's or 245/50/16 hard as a rock sucky Dayton Daytona street tires. I don't care about the tire wear. |

Rain will certainly reduce grip for both street tires and race tires. However, at the lower speeds in the tricky parts of the course, the compound makes as much difference as the tread pattern, and a set of "hard as a rock" street tires isn't going to help you much.
You can actually get to WOT on a straight with wet race tires, though it might be a little unnerving. You just have to roll onto the gas very smoothly and brake EARLY. |
