Can anyone explain the tread pattern on the gatorskins? They look awful. I can't see how it will clear any standing water in the wet.

Tyre build up a standing water wave as a function of tyre width and speed. Since my car tyres are 245mm wide I could aquaplane at 60mph. Since my bike tyre is 25mm wide I'd need to be doing 200mph to aquaplane.

I've only managed it once.
