You could reverse your argument and say, what if a child ran out onto the road in the dry, and you didn't have the 888's on? The dry stopping distance is significantly shorter with 888's so by having them on you saved that childs life...

To be honest, they shold only be used on 2nd cars for a number of reasons, mainly due to the noise/wearing out. People only usually take the car out in fair weather, if if does rain then just be very careful.

very wet, now here is the awkward one, as normally they fine, except puddles and nailing at low speeds

even with the experience above ive decided not to put them on my 306 road car, which only does a few miles a day back and forth train stations.

its just to much of a risk

in the summer, i may run my 205 wheels on my 306 just for some summer drives, but thats it, even though i know how they are in all conditions

my two pence worth
