tiresonwetpavedroads

My use will be mostly on the road on the Oregon coast, where there is enough rain, mist, and fog that, save when summer winds blow one county into the next, the road is often wet. Yesterday, a large online dealer who carries both the Dunlp D607 and IRC GP110 recommended the latter. I'd appreciate hearing from riders who have used either of the tires on wet, paved roads. Thanks for your help, Tom

Don't get a lot of rain here in SoCal, so my GP-110s don't see a lot of wet roads. From my short experiences in the rain with them they stop fine, but I'm a leary of cornering too aggressively with them. With constant rains, the roads get clean, but with less rain they frequently have an oil slime that demands some respect. If I lived in rain country, I'd be looking at tires with silica- enhanced tread compounds. Two examples are the Michelin Anakee and Pirelli MT90 Scorpion A/T. That said, last spring I road an '08 KLR on wet roads with the stock tires and it handled fine. __Arden

What size container are we talking about? 1 qt bottle, 2.3 qt jug, 2.6 qt jug, 4 qt jug, 5 qt jug or 220 qt drum? Did someone install my sight glass in the wrong location? Can I get Dino juice at the local health-food store? Somebody please; I need to know the answers? ED
