So, are we thinking its going to remain greasy tonite, or do 'we' think it'll dry out? Just wondering about keeping the wets on..?

I'll be there at some point, depending on Guildford A3 traffic.

Doesn't take long to switch the tyres over.

LOL... But what about springs, ride heights, front roll centre and rear toe bar...

I spent most of last sunday changing from dry to wet to dry to wet!!

Only change I make is tyres.... nothing else....

So I'll just be unbolting wheels!

But I think unless this mist goes, it'll be slick (not wet).

I need all the help I can get! (and I 'discovered' this week, that my wet front tyres are higher profile than my dry low pro cut staggers so my ride height is all over the place in the wet.. Could 'help' explain a few things (well, that and my driving 'standard'!!)

I did say 'greasy' and not wet!

See ya' later...

I think you might be over thinking things... I just switch the tyres over. Maybe try to find a good all round setup that works in most conditions? I find consistent driving gains the most lap time as long as the right tyres are bolted on.

I guess if the wet front tyres are larger, drop the front ride height a bit or buy a new set of dry's?

But if you're really into giving yourself lots of work to do, with two completely different setups, then run two chassis!
