I can not speak to wet traction or tread life because I just got the tire a few weeks ago but I did not want to give it a poor rating in those categories because I think it will do well in them as well. In all other aspects of the tire is is great, I am really pleased with it so far and as long as the tread life is good I will be buying it again. This is on a 1976 Yamaha DT400.
