Can anyone here spell H-Y-D-R-O-P-L-A-N-E?

depemds pm tje tire a directional tire has some threads on the side and in a turn it handles damm good as far as the rain i have noticed it stoppes better. doesnt slide like the bike tire. a directional tire has more threads and better tractions.

Just got back from 1900 mile trip with my bro who has a car tire on his 08 Kawasaki Nomad. He rode from Florida to Deals Gap in rain and sun, navigated the Dragon's Tail and all those fine roads that make up the BRP with no problem. Wouldn't mind putting a cT on my EGC.
