Howdy Aaron One of the guys who beat me

Ok got some good answers on HT.com.

One guy brought up CAMBER again. And then I thought about higher tire pressures and this got me thinking. I have alot of negative camber, right? So when you add more air pressure you bring the middle of the tire out a bit more than usual. So this makes more of a contact patch then lets say letting out air where now you are really on the inner sidewall. Kinda got it?

So anyway the Azenis in the rain is no problem for those guys who doubt me. I drove to the event and back on my Azenis in a monsoon at 80mph and I was fine. People who've been telling you horror stories about the Azenis in the rain either, don't have the correct alignment, or their tires are bald - which by the way ANY tire that is near bald will also hydroplane - duh!
