I've been watching all week Rossgo and it keeps changing. Might go back to dry yet. Seems they can't make there mind up.

So kept my eye on the weather for tomorrow they say it's going to be heavy showers in the morning where I am then will dry up and Wales will have showers (possibly heavy) maybe with thunder in areas around lunchtime.

I'm really not fancying doing a 500 mile round trip when the likelihood is we will get wet!! I'm sorry but I am bowing out of this one [LOUDLY CRYING FACE]

I won't be able to to do next weekend I'm off with my dad to Silverstone for a single seater drive!
Just woken up and it is pissing it down may pop out locally and test the M7RRs in the rain. The guy who fitted them wanted to know what they are like but I have held off saying anything as I haven't used them in the rain yet only light greasy rain. This is a prefect opportunity to test it all now!

Once up to operating temp modern tyres have more grip than we think Rossgo. I was getting my knee down at Oulton Park last week on a damp track with rain still spitting down.

M7rr is supposedly the best fast road tyre for wet conditions so you have the perfect tyre for the role.

Stay safe and look forward to hearing what you thinkm

I can only second this, I'm on my 3rd set now.

Brilliant tyre in mixed conditions too.
