I know! It's pretty crazy...
...when you think about the angles and how little of the tire is actually in contact with the road. Have you seen one of those rains close up? The tread is surprisingly deep. I'm pretty amazed by them actually.

my first track day was in the rain at Watkins. I was a lil' skeered to say the least
since the track has Armco around every inch. I was running 207GP's back then so I even had good skins for the occasion. The Califonia Superbike School dude did a huge stoppie and was launching power wheelies on the exact tires in the pouring rain. I was amazed. He gave me the confidence I needed to hang it out a little. I learned a lot that day (and so did my friend who high sided his 900RR into turn one)
