Very interesting. Is there one of these tests done on high performance summer/track tires? This is very useful information... but I'm curious to see how 070's and 615's compare to they're competition (and what they're competition is).
Aren't the Kumho MX's what Nick had on the P1's? If so how'd you like those tires Nick? What was your opinion autocrossing them and rain use?
How important do you think it is to have wet traction? I still haven't competed in a full season of autocross yet, but it doesn't seem like there are very many wet events. Maybe it's not that big a deal to run a wet event on stock/summer tires. I dunno. It seems like there is a significant amount of thought that goes into track tire selection... Is that because the extreme high speeds reached in a track setting?
