Dry Tyres In Rain

Recommended Posts

In rain you should use Inters (damp track) or full wets (puddles). If you're talking about when it first starts raining, you're best to be on soft tyres as they keep their heat easier.

Probably softs. But I doubt it's useful to specifically pit for them.

In most cases I suppose you're right. An important point of consideration is the chosen tyre pressures. If you're on minimum pressures, it's very hard to get the dry tires up to temperature if the track is damp/wet. Softs are the easiest to get up to temperature. If the chosen tyre pressures have accounted for a damp track, then sometimes mediums can be a better option - depending on how long you expect to have to drive on them. The car slides around a lot on a damp track with dry tires, so wear might become an issue very quickly on some tracks if running softs.
