Those BFG's actually do a lot better in the rain than
I thought they would, one of my students had them at
autox school and I think they performed at least as
well as the Falkens in the rain (which might not be
saying much). They were definitely stickier than
RE-92's in the rain (which is not saying much). They
would however frighten the poop out me on 101 in a
downpour... <eek>.

The Falkens are the best bang for the buck. Lorry runs
the 205/55/16's in D-Stock although now that Peter has
returned to inflict his wrath on the group (and also
with Shane going to R compounds) he's had a slight
change of heart.

Cheers, Joe
