It is.
Do you? I have no idea about wet driving or wet tyres. This is all new ground for me
When you use your cars on a hot dry track, you end up with them at about 30psi or more due to the temp increase, when its a cold wet track you dont get that increase, so the sidewalls can move about a lot more as they rely on the air to assist them in taking the weight of the car.

33 too high, they will get warm even in the wet.
It all depends on loads etc, suspension and so on.
We had them steaming at Llandow and tbat was very wet.
Once you start to work them, the temps will rise rapidly. So beware.

Try a few psi either side too and see what you think feels best. You probably dont drive as hard as tony, so probably dont have the same optimum figures that he does.
Mine turned up minute ago, well happy for that price. Same price as Michelin PE2's pretty much.
My 2 turned up a day after I ordered, bargain.
As for the pressures, in the wet I always start off at road temperatures, do about 7-8 laps come in ,adjust down , another 7-8 laps, adjust again, usually settling about 33-35psi on front and 30ish on back.
Just another mite to add re .tyres,I have been using (dont laugh) Nankang NS2R comp compound (120 tread rate ) on my rears the last couple of trackdays ( Brands +Donington Nat ) and am very impressed with them ( for the back at least, will be trying them on front next time out ). Only £65 from a couple of places in 195/50/15 and considering I am used to 888's mostly , for the money they are very capable. Plenty of grip , progressive breakaway, didnt seem to lock up under braking. A decent cheaper option I would say, much better than the Ad08's I used to use before I became a bit of a 888 snob.

Glad this thread as popped up, been looking on line for wets all week, was going to pull the trigger on some Advan A006G/C, but realised they were not on the MSA TYRE list A/B.
I was then looking at the Yokos Parada Spec 2's http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/trackday/wheels-tyres-accessories/yokohama-parada-spec-2-tyre but realise they offer the same wet grip efficiency as the R1Rs. I think I will pull the trigger on the R1Rs as they seem to be popular on here...they have to be better than my T1Rs that I currently run as a wet weather track tyre :/

Im glad you have said that
Yeah, DO NOT go with parada spec 2's. They are appalling.
Yeah they are horrible in the wet, no good at all.
TBH they arent amazing in the dry either.
HAHA last time I listen to a mate...b*****d prob wanted me to be slower lol
WRX
Thought that after I'd posted. Might have had a chance in a wet race in the future lol.
Tut tut ;(
