Even so the poor person driving the one with the "Traditional" hood got a bit wet....

Aldermog will get new rubber this autumn: I'm thinking seriously of fitting these:
All Weather Rubber

As you say, the wider Roadster tyres need some help shifting water.




Well I left Prescott at 3:30 and out to the M5 at 4:00, cruised down it at around 70 all the way and it was dry to the Taunton junction, but was windy with strong head wind, put hood down there and drove home in sunshine. So I presume they hit a down poor. I also went up early Sunday in rain and got to Cheltenham in 1.75 hour and it was wet. Any tyre will be challenged with standing water, but some will give more grip than others due to tread pattern when cornering, the Vredesteins are probably one of the best for a Morgan. Mine has Avon VZ5's which are not too bad. cheers I got home at 6 by the way.
