There's a 30% chance of light rain at this weekend's 2-day auto-x, which means it almost surely will rain. I have a set of V710s that are 4 years old, but still pretty soft and with decent grooves, maybe about half as deep as new. I also have a friend who will let me borrow/rent his full tread RA-1s if I want (same size).

I have a lot of experience with both tires, but am wondering which set would be faster in damp/light rain conditions? I think I can fit both sets inside the car with the rear seats out.... lol

 

In light rain, the full-tread RA-1 should be faster than the half-tread V710.

 

NO Brainer.. RA-1 full tread..
Nice friend btw!

 

I am waiting for Paul lend me his RA-1 LOL

 

You can have them when the cords are showing

 

lol I'll take them.

 

i have see your register yet

 

Thanks for the suggestions!! I'll be bringing both.
Hey Derek (my name is Derek too). I am registered with a 2001 BMW M5 in F Stock but am changing to my '98 Integra LS in SMF right now. See you up there!

 

If the course is damp (no puddles) I was always told the Hoosiers would be faster. If there is standing water anywhere on course the RA1s should be better.

 

Hi Derek… are you the Derek i met from last year KSC? A white Ls integra with st 19mm rear sway bar…With ots koni yellow an ground control w/o top hat …

Im driving a 2000 civic sir (si in the state)
I will see you at the event. Lets smoke those rwd cars and chase those 4wd cars in the rain. LOL

 

Wow good memory! Yes, now I remember who you are. I'll see you there - let's hope for rain!
