Gee, is this why race rubber's are "R"-rated?

I agree with that, IMHO they brake VERY well in the wet. I wasn't as
happy with their cornering in track conditions, but they are certainly
decent there, and as you said they are CHEAP. 

If you haven't purchased yet and they are availible in your size (they
only come in 15+ sizes) you may also wish to check out the CHEAP Kumho
712. They seem to be VERY comparable in performance and price, but will
have longer wear, AND IMHO better lateral grip after turn-in, wet or dry.


HTH, lots of luck, and stay "kinky"!
