    Pilot Road 3 in the wet?

    So, I've gone from 3 bikes down to one and I'm weighing my wet weather options (used to be easy. Rains on the tard, DOTs on the streetbike and Slicks on the track bike).

    I have a spare set of wheels for the 848 and had just planned to buy a set of rains, but...
    1. I'm not racing, just doing trackdays
    2. I always seem to find myself in the "not wet enough for rains, not dry enough for slicks" limbo.

    So, I'm wondering if a set of Road3s might be a good alternative.
    Curious if anyone has run Road3s at the track in the wet... I understand they are (or were) Michelin's preferred DOT wet (not rain) tire.

    So who's run them? What's your pace like? Experiences? etc...

    i've kept a set of Pilot Powers for this same exact situation. i've got to say, i've still never used them.
    just mount rains on your spares and use DOT's on your "dry" wheels.

    You've read it elsewhere; I love mine on the street, even in the wet. I've used them on the track, although not in the wet AND on the track at the same time.

    I'm also slow as fuck.
