    The lack of visibility comes from how well the extreme wets disperse water. So it’s like a catch 22 either make worse tires for better visibility or better ties but drivers behind can’t see.

            So then… Another in between Intermediate tyre? Like I get you are saying but you do realise that wet tyres are not much different from other tyres with the only exception being their pattern? I think at some point the differences become marginal.

      that can’t be true. it if were they could just go back to the old wet tire designs where it wasn’t a problem.

      I think it’s more to do with the extreme aero on modern cars.

        I’m no professional, but I’ve been watching F1 for most of my life and the water dispersion is definitely more than it was in the past.
