Rain groves v.s. BT-45 or S-11
« on: September 01, 2011, 12:25:53 PM »
I am sure that this subject has been beaten to death but I am looking for a idea of how the BT-45's or S-11 take to rain groves. The DfW area is sporting more and more of the rain groves and I am at the point of tire replacement.

I'd guess that the BT-45s would do better since the rain groove isn't straight like on the Spitfires.
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

I came to the same conclusion just need to bounce it off some BT-45 users. I know the Metz follows the groves and is a #%$%^@ at times.
