Does wet weather frustrate you?

Love driving in the rain. Love testing the limits of adhesion (which I figure is driving practice for coping with emergencies).

RainX helps, since you can't drive if you can't see.

Would prefer AWD but ESP seems pretty good.

Interesting that the MOTOR test gave the best wet grip to the Goodyear Eagles. I had a set on my Honda a few years ago and they were crap in the rain. A set of Dunlop 3000A's were infinitely better in the wet. Softer ride, too.

Really not sure what will go on my GTI next. 14,000kms down on the Conti's and not alot left.....

Shame the Yokohama A539's don't exist anymore. They were GREAT on my last Mini. (only lasted 6000kms of real hard driving though)

As for wet weather.... It'd have to rain to do that. None of that rain stuff here in Adelaide.

Hiya Stuwey, if you had the Eagle F1s on yr Honda a few years back, then I suspect you previously had the Eagle F1 GSD3 or even GSD2 - the ones Motor tested are the brand new "Asymmetric" - theyve only been only the world market for just over 12 months, and goodyear have only been pushing them in Oz for a few months

You should also have alook at the Michelin Precedas. They usually do well in tests. I have some on the Polo now. Infinitely better than the contis.

To me stock Contis really does good job keeping my car planted on heavy rains in here. I could go 180 clicks without having to worry about aquaplaning. F1 GSD3, as long as you stay away from Thailand made ones, you'd be ok. It's slightly better but noisy. F1 Revspec would be better choice IMHO.
