Some quick searching on Google seems to confirm that. It supposedly increases traction in poor c; /html/shop-talk/2004-12/msg00025.html (7,984 bytes)

I suspect the benefits are minimal in the wet, but the regular snow runners swear by it for the white stuff.

Racing slicks don't have to perform in rain and would hydroplane/slip terribly on city streets and highways. Racing (I'm thinking I; /html/shop-talk/2004-12/msg00027.html (8,833 bytes)
