You drove in the rain....oh no...resale value just dropped

I used a set of new Hankook Ventus V12's in the perfromance driving school where they soak the track with dish detergent soaped water and the instructer was astounded at the good traction as we were doing 50mph dodge and stop in the wet lessons.

The stopping distance and sure footedness was great for a stickier summer performance tire.

The instructor could not get the car to spin out on the wet oval either without cheating and pulling handbrake at the right moment.

Some of these rubber compounds are truly excellent when wet.
