Nah mate, brand new wets are the best! The more laps they do the worse they feel. A brand new wet with sharp edges on the treads is best. You don't even need to warmer them really.

Can one scrub in wets on a dry track?

they come apart so fast tho that you would most likely do more damage than good in the dry

Actually it's exactly like that......but sitting on the dog's back.
the frotns dont actually come part that bad in the dry but the rear screw out hard at round 1 I demolished my rear wet in the dry

I nearly had the worst crash of my life on wets with a dry line one the track.
The kink in the front straight at manfield, just tipped in to it and the rear said not a shit show sunny jim. Lucky for me J-lo had a big seat for my arse hole to suck lots of leather in.
Moral of the story is wet's in the dry Very, VERY bad news.

But what do you do for the other half of the lap? :eek5: push it like a harley?

The next half a lap will be quick , followed by the next 15-20 (if it stays wet)
After that & as Jay says once the corners of the tread edge has been lost - then the performance of the wets slowly but surely falls away. They still pump water fine - but their sure-footedness begins to wane
