Best Wet Weather Tyre

[helbz]

I am after a good wet weather tyre I currently have Pirelli Pzero Nero's and they are the worst tyre I have ever experienced in wet weather, They aquaplane, the ass slides around and I am concerned for my missus to drive the car in the wet, even when taking a roundabout at 40km's it slips and slides all over the shop. I have 245/35/19's fitted and I really like the look of nitto invo's back when vevapower had a group buy I missed out and bought these sorry ass excuse for a tyre! but seeing as I get public transport to work most days it will take me forever to wear these dud's out so I might bite the bullet and give them to a mate and buy something else.

What are a good dry and wet balanced tyre.

Cheers

I had the Yokohama advan v-103's and they were great wet weather tyres. Wore out quick though

At this price, you can't go wrong:

The Goodyear Asymmetric F1's are staggeringly good.

The performance elements that come together to make this such a good tyre are:

• exceedingly high absolute limits in wet
  
  • (-1.2G in the wet on a calibrated accelerometer for a rego check, and, that is with the testing mechanic simply slamming on the brakes)
    

  [*]exceedingly high absolute limits in dry

  [*]fast transient behavior

  [*]absolutely linear responses everywhere all the time in steady state and in transient conditions

  • (don't underestimate the value of linearity when it comes to control)
    

The Goodyear Asymmetric F1 -2 appears at this stage to be an even better tyre, although the current setup on the car consists of a mixed set of 17" F1's and F1-2's.

Value for money option Maxis Z1's hold on well in the wet

I just did the Snowies cruise with a set of Yokohama A13's - brilliant in the wet and dry! Taleb Tyres the site sponsor put them on for me at $180 per tyre, give Ali a call

Can't say I've driven a falcon with the Goodyear F1's, but a mate has them on his Integra TypeS and it sticks to the road like glue.

I vote for the goodyear f1's too, im on my second full set now, and it pisses down here in NZ all the time, 335 atw and they have never let go !

If your paying for the Pirelli's you wont mind the price of the F1's. They are great. The series ones got copied and were not as good at the end. Series 2 is meant to be even better.

I got tired of the cost. It's a company car and does a few miles so I bought the Kuhmo 31's. Not near as good in the dry. but pretty bloody good in the wet.

And they are good in the quietness department.

And two thirds of the F1's

Depends on how much you are going to ask of them I guess.

pisses down up here all the time, KU31 = good, KU36 = no good
