There was alot of rain events in 05 and I went through a 2 sets of rain tires. One set of bridgestones and one set of MG. I want to try something new for the beginning of the season. What are some opinions on the best rain tire for solo. I like the MG alot more than the bridgestone but I wonder if there is something better out there.

i was told the new bridgestone design is the best in performance. idk about endurance of wear, but i was told with them on the kart, its like driving in the dry.

I won a KART RR National on a set of borrowed Dunlops in a heavy down pour at Hallett.
Bought myself a set right after that.

I've had good results with the B/S YHPs. YMMV.

The thing about solo that i'm considering is you never race in a downpoor. Usually when it's raining that hard the timing lights are having problems and the event is delayed, or there is lightning and the event is delated. So
I guess I'm trying to figure out what the best intermediate tire is. I think I'm gonna try the dunlops next.

if u can get your hands on a set of MOJO rain tires i used them at the rotax world finals and they handled awesome. much better than the bridgestones.
