i run 020,s and find them good in the wet and dry. before anyone complains about tyres being crap in the wet i suggest you fit avon av46 to the rear and ride into any city in the ****ing rain or even just damp. ride around all day, refit your 020,z6 or whatever and thank god your still alive. you will never complain about your tyres performance again

Haha, the AV46's just have interesting wet weather characteristic's...........

I have had mine spin up in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Think some of that may have been due to the super slippyness of the roads though.

You can get them to spin up quite nicely in the wet wet (as oposed to greasy wet) in 2nd though, which is quite funny.

This is in stark comparison to the two sets of 014's I had fitted which only spun up twice in 4000 miles of riding.

Danno.
