    Centre lined front tires are great on wet pavement, except if the pavement is grooved.

    the way i look at it, the center line would trap the water in the middle? but im no scientist.

    I absolutely LOVE my continental conti go's - I have over 5k on them now, and have never been displeased with their handling. Ride real smooth, no center line groove, etc.

    You probably won't get as much life(mileage) out of Thelma's you will in some other tires, but to me, I'd rather have a better, stickier tire than one that will last longer.

    I figure an extra 80$ a season is worth riding on good rubber

    no continuos center groove, great traction in the wet, and they are SO freaking stable and consistent around the corners. GREAT smooth rounded profile.

    Paid 180 shipped from motosport for the pair.
