You've gone from dedicated soft track tyres with 60 treadware that don't need lots, if any heat to grip to a hard road/track tyre with 200+ treadware that require lots of heat to work properly. The dry/damp grip difference will be massive.
I really don't understand why people run these half...
I've had work done by him in the past and lets just say I wouldn't use his services again.

Results - 0.16 - 0.20 - 0.25 - 0.25
