RIDING IN THE RAIN

[Bob Denman]

All the more reason to stay with the Kenda. Softer compound M/C tire. Seriously it will be the last to Hydroplane. Remember we have very little weight on each wheel and there for less traction.

Yes Please no more tire talk or comparisons. Tires are tires.

RAIN RIDING

Took a ride up to Maggie Valley yesterday. I will have another post about that later, but when riding back home to Rural Hall on I40, I got caught in some really heavy rain and strong winds. I was very happy on how Cocaine handled the weather. I had to slow down to 70mph because of the standing water on the road but she never hydroplaned. Tracked straight and true. Got a kick out of watching the front tires shedding the water a couple feet away from me. Didn't wear a rain suit and got :cus: soaked but I actually loved the ride home. Had a ball! :yes::yes:

....................I haven't gotten to test my new Altimax's ( 175/65-15's ) on the front of my 2014 RT in any downpours yet....But did try some high speed runs on wet pavement and I was quite impressed with GRIP...... It's too bad their 65 aspect casing is larger than most, because even in the OLD Style fender it's a tight fit.......Mike :thumbup:

This past summer, I got caught in a sever thunder storm, and my Continental Contiprocontact tires on the front, pushed the water on the road away. No problems.

Also, no problems with the General Altimax RT 43 tire that I am running the rear of the spyder. The nanny did not give me any problems. Deanna
