I guess there is no balance between wet and dry tyres for F1. Decision to use which tyres and what time will certainly affect the final result of the race.

Ah yes, I've heard before that wider tyres are more prone to aquaplaning in wet road conditions. Since the tyres are wider, it is actually easier for it to be floating on top of the water surface like a boat which means there is no grip for the tyres.
That is why there is dry slick and wet pattern tyres. If half/half then you drive also half/half loh.....hhahahahhahah:rofl:

Their tyre size cannot be changed, so the pattern (grooves) are there to help channel water away. However to an extent only as if there is more water then the grooves can handle still will aquaplane....:smokin:

Yourself speeding is it? haha :biggrin:

Now this explains something. As I remember, 2 years ago where there are 2 R35 GT-R crashed at Kuantan. If my memory serves me right, it is reported that the road condition is wet or something like that.
Not to say speeding la. Just that during the rain, I don't get as much aquaplane as bigger cars with bigger tyres...

But if they met with a rare condition like what you mentioned earlier, half wet half dry, then that will be really troubling for them. Or what if the road is not wet enough. Just slightly damp. That could be a problem too.

And your car is small enough to weave in and out of traffic jams. But if you change to your 'Jetta' then cannot go fast during rain, haha. :biggrin:

Because most topics also will relate to driving on the road. Driving on the road is related to tyres. :biggrin:

Now it's not staring up. Car got crank it's just not starting up. Earlier got 2 fuse 120a and 15a blown. I replaced it. My dash lights were working. Now it's just not starting up.
