I was told the ad08 is better than the re11 in the rain, but I never drove it in the rain myself.
Does it make a huge difference going from 285 to 245 assuming you are on the same compound?

Yes, very scary in the rain.

Yeah I remember how bad the car was running over any water puddles. Still, it is nowhere as bad as the oem tires. In pouring rain, I was running over 16 sec slower at lime rock. Of course self preservation kicks in once you realize how stupid it is to do time trial in downpours
