Yeah thought I'd seen it before!

New tyres feel so much better taking off in the wet and stop better as you'd hope. Quieter too, but when you are at the bottom, the only way to go is up!

Eh? Less wheelspin as tyres are better...think I'm missing the joke.

Can't wait to give it a go in the dry. Hopefully my drive line isn't fat and lazy after the holiday those crappy tyres afforded it.

Actually the more worn tyres get the better they grip in the dry (to a point).. The older they get the worse they grip due to rubber hardening..

Grip is about macro texture of the road surface and tyre contact area.. Bigger contact area (slicker tyres) means more grip..

However slicker tyres in wet means you don't have the tyre channels to expel the water and essentially aqua-skip time after time in really quick succession which can lead to death or serious injury..
