Yeah never tried it in the wet, sounds kinda fun. I just know once I tried rubbers in a parking-lot on my old r40. I thought , my god no wonder it says this on the box. It was nearly a joke. Power on and I would immediatly have to control the car in a turn...rather than let it settle through. It was kinda cool though , basically became a drift vehicle.
I probably should have used some grip compounds , cause the tires were a bit dry. On my racer2 , same exact tires work great. So , I just figured it was a setup of the R40 causing this and to warrant the suggestion right on the r40 box.
