The ADVAN is awesome when it is dry and horrible when it is wet, but it can take the cold and freezing temps very well.
I am very tempted to try out the RE-11, but I do not like the price or the wet traction ratings the I have seen in the past. Who knows, I could end up in Baltimore and we all know how that goes (I'm from there, so I really do know).  |
It's funny how traction is the last thing on my mind when buying tires...I guess for winter it can be more important on what kind of tires you have on but I really buy tires by price and size lol. In the wet, wider tires are gonna hydroplane easier by physics law (even though I haven't noticed it, and it also depends on the tire tread as well, but wider is never a good thing for rain in general), however I don't really mind since most of the time I prefer to have less traction...makes it more fun lol
