    Tyre selection for semi-wet races?

    I hate the in between surface where its not wet enough for wets but too wet for slicks or sp tyres. Well i dont mind riding actually its a bit of fun as long as the playing field is equal and others are on the same tyres but it would be nice to have an advantage...... Im considering running a say pirelli diablo or something? or is there other better options?

    yeah but were talking 10ths of a sec that can cause you to win or lose, if you can ride slightly harder cause you have a tyre to suit the conditions your gonna win... I followed some superbikes at puke very light drissle my bike had supersport tyres compared to them all bein on slicks my bike didnt slide all theres did result crash

    what made me think of it is im watching the superbikes and noticed when it rained some bikes were being fitted with a intermediate tyre
