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.
I think worse tires and better visibility is the option they should pursue: you'll see who's good at driving and cars will have way lower performance so you'll get some more action from people that drive pieces of junk.
Worse tyres = slicks, you realise that, right?
Slicks are the "no grip" option, as illustrated by Lando. I'm talking about a full wet tire that is slightly better than medium wet in full wet conditions.
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.
