Aye, and therein lays the rub.
Catatonic, you are correct in your reasoning. However that is NOT how the tread in oriented on this tire. It does everthing else that it should do but when it comes to water it DOES NOT displace it. It gathers it up and throws it all over the place.
I do not claim to be a tire expert, even after my highly scientific experiment with the mud puddle. (Aw, come on now, that was a very scientific puddle) All I can tell you is that, at least for me, that particular tire won't work, at least in the rain. Trouble with that is, at least around here, it can go from sunny to rain faster than my wife can change her mind. While I tend not to leave home in the rain, I may be forced to come home in it.
Put a better way, I don't buy tires that I like, I buy tires the Dragons like! Dragons being what they are, if they do not like a tire they may express their opinion by throwing me in heap in the ditch somewhere. I am not all that fond of ditchs either.
Fred, it holds air well! PM me an address, you can have it for the shipping.
