it's not even a case of trying to put power down on wet roads. It's just simply normal driving.

Most track tyres are utterly abysmal bordering on dangerous for standing water, puddles etc etc...which can be very common during normal road use, and even more so the likes of motorways in heavy rain.
Risk of aquaplaning with the wrong tyres will be very high.

I've had a plethora of tyres on the road, and TBH the best so far have been the PS4. I have not driven them in the wet though, only a few dry days in the summer, but they impressed me more than any tyre I've used.
I had always thought the likes of them are too expensive, they won't be as good as 888's etc etc...I was very wrong. And when 888's only last around 1500 miles even on the road they really are poor. The last set of R888R's I had on the rear were done after a little over 1000 miles. They were extremely disappointing.

No doubt there are some environments when the 888 does work...I've yet to find them on my car.
